Picked up this beauty from owzat scarbrough today. 2.8 with 38 mm edge and 54 mm spine with minimal concaving. Feels great in the hand and 15 beautiful grains. Now for the bad part cost �380. Overall really happy with purchase and service.
Anyway pics

Very nice indeed looks like you have got a good one how it feel off the mallet

Tapped up with a mallet in the shop and have been tapping up with a ball in the garden this afternoon. Definatly seems to be pinging off very nicely. Finishing on the bat is very good aswell

Must say I am impressed with gm bats this year seem not to be really hard pressed like they use to which is a real plus this year

Yea i know what you mean but i would say this is definatly on the firmer side

For �380 everyone is aware of what you can get elsewhere, however, if I was gunna spend that amount on a GM bat, thats exactly how I'd like it to look! Love the small strip of heartwood! I haven't ever paid that much before, but I definitely wouldn't have passed that up on the shelf!

So would you say that it's still firmer than you would like do you think it will need a lot off playing in or not

Cheers 400 not out, yes must admit had a few mixed feelings driving home and it did cross my mind of oh my god ive spent �380 on a gm. Just loved the feel of the bat.

That's the main thing if it feels good in your hand that will help in the middle as your trust the bat in your hand

Even though it says ready to play im definatly going to knock it in more and play it in in the nets. Dont think it long to open up but just seems quite firm.

All gm fill firm but when open up your have a special bat in your hands that's for sure looks stunning by the way

Lovely bat. For that price, I'd spend proper time knocking and playing it in - you don't want a dinged toe or cracks before its prepared and match ready!
