Hi Ed why did Steve say that the bats made in India are for the Indian and aus and sa market I still have the message on my phone just seems a bit funny for him to say that and do all Indian gm bats come out in a nice gm padded bat case the bat itself preforms pretty well  :)

I don't know, I will ask him.

Yes, they do

the bat itself preforms pretty well  :)

Good for you mate.

Just to be clear I did not mean that bat is not a good one. Was just guessing that the seller removed the grade labels to upsell it. Cannot see any other reason. Just the grade of willow- thats it. In fact some of the 505s and 606s I have seen perform better than any of the top end bats I have seen.

As I said earlier GM India make awesome bats! So no surprises there (at least for me!). GM UK are well known to everyone here so all good there anyways.

Good Luck With it, hope you makes heaps of runs with it!  :)

To be honest I am pleased with it and I seen a lot off good quality bats if this bat was uk made it would off been up for sale at 250 pounds just can't get my head round why the gm guy would say that the factory in India made bats for aus San so on seems very strange

It could have been a misunderstanding or a little confusion?
Or just a simple lack of attention to what details he was giving?
He was obviously talking to your answer machine, and I know I switch off when I'm talking to one!!

So the ones on eBay definitely aren't DXM originals as stated?

I tend to agree with buzz. The stickers aren't quite right. Look at the chevron in the close up of the top and compare it to a uk bat. I may be barking up the wrong tree, and I know it's been confirmed by someone at GM.

The second thing is the shape. A question for Ed. Surely a bat made under license in India with a gm name to it would have a similar shape to the UK made bat?

The other question I have for ed is are the Indian GM stickers 3D like the rest of the world and wouldn't they have an identical color scheme? Obviously I don't have vast experience in global branding, so you may do something different in India than the rest of the world.

This is a dxm octane:

This was locked whilst we confirm with GM whether or not it is a genuine GM, be it made in India under licence?

Right - it appears that after further digging - the bat is genuine.

sorry for the false accusations
