Wow...that looks like one awesome bat!!

Does a pick up index of 3 mean a very light pick up? Sorry I am not familiar with the GM pick up grading.

I'm no expert but I think 1 is the lightest pick up and 5 is the heaviest making 3 middle of the road

Here are a few more pics. It got a little ding in transit unfortunately.

However it does really go.... Am super pleased

Will do a video review when I can sneak a moment

Oh and if the handle looks unusual it is because I have double bound the bottom hand and I am using octopus grips at the moment

Well technically the box is empty now!!

A team mate had an octane with a 1 pick up which was a fair chunk smaller than what I was expecting - so I had a slight panic that GM had changed the shape a bit - however I needn't have feared - What I have received is massive, as hoped. It is also 2.11 on the scales, so punchy.

It picks up on weight - very similar to my Blank Bats hulk bat which is the same weight. But then both have relatively low middles.

As for ping - my kids were asleep when I got home last night, so I haven't tested it yet!!

In the mean time, here are a couple of appetite whetters - note that is is an L.E. not an Original which is a very pleasant surprise :)









Fantastic stick Buzz, lucky sod getting a free OLE!

Since GM use the DXM, shouldn't it be exactly the same size as your team mates Octane?  I always thought every single GM DXM (in the same model) is exactly the same size!

I think my mate's bat was a little different, it was a replacement bat and I think it may have had a history he wasn't aware of... It was half t size if this and very light.

Lovely grainage. Looks like a belter. Nice win! (Loved the fact you manipulated the bat selector.)

Thanks for the nice comments, I feel very lucky.
My plan is to try and get to a net this weekend and have hit with it, so will let you know how I get on.

I saw this on Twitter Phil and was waiting for something to pop up on the forum......then realised this thread had been going for ages!

Congrats and it's an outstanding looking stick.
