If it is between GM or GN...I would recommend sticking with GM.

Nothing worse than showing a bit of sarcasm now and again

I didn't think he was showing sarcasm...from that I got that GM really does fill his requirements!!! Hence his shortlisted GN and GM...been wrong plenty of times before though :)

I don't understand what advice you want if you have already made your mind up that GM suits

Got more than you bargained for there Googly!
Hope you haven't been put off - it will pay you to have a look at the quality bats that the batmakers on this forum produce.
It's certainly opened my eyes.

Since you're a decent batsman, do yourself a favour and talk to any one of the highly skilled batmakers on this forum, and for the kind of money you want to spend, they'll hand-pick you one of the finest willow clefts and they'll craft you a beautiful bat that perfectly suits you and your game, looks gorgeous and pings like knicker elastic. You'll never look back.  :)

Welcome to the forum Googly - I have had a nuber of top of the range GM and GN bats. They are superb bats, but to be honest I have found other bats from custom makers equally good but less expensive.
I think people are only trying to help you to save money on your purchase  ;)
But if your mind is made up about either GM or GN, then I would speak to some of the retailers on here....Uzi Sports, Vitas, etc and they will be able to get you a beauty.

asad, these pro bats of yours, how good are they ?
are they pressed softly or hard?
for the price you are selling the pro bats, any other bats that would match the performance of your pro bats as you claim they are top notch.
