I saw this on eBay and decided to have a sneaky bid the bat is 2.9 with 14 grains and has a pickup index off 2 first thoughts it feels really good off the mallet and think I got a good deal for the price I payed

Has anyone eels thought gm pressing this year does not seem so firm I got two gm now this season and both feel a lot better than my purist I had last year

Looks a lovely stick that Simon

As for pressing I think it's a bit pot luck sometimes. I've had a few (10 give or take!) GMs and of those two were softer pressed. Not knowing the process im guessing they have a universal setting on the press, and as all willow is different you get done natural variation. That is all made up by me though so take what you will from the theory haha

Makes a lot off sense just seemed to notice a difference this year and pleased I took the gamble and bought this

Think I got a good bye for 165 pounds as it's brand new in the box just need the pads and gloves to match now

Looks a snip for 165 to be fair.

Buying off ebay for that money is brave.

Remember linking this on the Ebay bargain thread, looked very promising and glad it's turned out to be a good buy for you.

Was surprised she took 165 pounds for it to be honest but ha ho I am happy with it

Wow, amazing buy!
I wondered who had got this, I messaged her too- don't think she quite knew what she had in her hands!

Think what we have he is the age old issue that plagues a man.  A woman selling a man's willow for the price he claimed it had cost him.

I think you might be right!
