Just uploading a few old files I have on my PC.

Nice collection ... Was curious about GM Apex and Epic bats. Never managed to find any background info on these bats ...

nice on Tom

you can see the difference in shapes come in when they started to use the DXM process as not much concaving before that as most bats were full bootied

Hero 909 still one of the best bats I have ever used

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Everyone needs some curvy Beyoncé-esk booty in their bats, and in most other aspects! Hubba-Hubba!

Thanks for posting, interesting look back. Bats look so small from 2004! Forgot how much I liked the original Flare+, never seen a Zona in the flesh, anyone try it? Any good?

The Zona is ok - concentrated swell! Still have it as it's fun in the nets! And my Flare is still in one of my trunks. Prefer the Flare to the Zona as I prefer that profile.

I still love the Epic profile. I never liked the orange stickers - but it is a great shape.

Superb.

I currently bat in the 2007 Purist Originals, they've lasted me 3 seasons so far.
Previously I had a pair that lasted me 5 seasons, again 2007 Purist Originals.
I'm netting in 2006 Purist Originals.
And in reserve a pair of 2007 Catalyst Originals.

They don't make em like they used to!

Perfect timing. I saw an 'Icon F2' in a shop the other day and really liked the look and balance of it. I note from these catalogues it must have been 2014 and not 2015 (only f4.5 and f7 seem to have been made in 2015). The ping with a mallet was not as good as some other GMs in the same shop (2015 and '16 models). This seems to tie up with a few forumites experiences with less consistency in pressing before 2015.

Thanks,

David
