Never had an issue with not being able to hand select a GM. I would love to, but it isn't essential when the quality control in my experience is so high. Paul, you and me both know that at all brands there is often some slop in a box of bats intended to sell for £300+ and it is great to avoid those when hand selecting. Equally picking up some lower end gems is a nice bonus, but should not be expected.
I've never been sent a GM bat and thought it was not deserving of the sticker it carried. And lets not forget they are the only big brand who can put a sticker with 'made in the UK' onto every single bat they sell.
I don't feel everything is perfect. If I can't go and pick them out myself I would at least like a say in what weight is being sent, and this is possible with the pickup index system, but only on 808, 909, Original and Original LE. It is pot luck with the lower end bats, this is something i would like to change.
Based on the images I am excited to see the new range tomorrow.
Tom would know better, but I assume Sigma isn't trademarked by anyone so is fair game? To me it seems quite fluid in cricket anyway, SF were selling a Powerbow and a Powerspot this year!
