The usual high standard of range you'd anticipate and expect from someone with the heritage of GM, good to see them continuing to innovate with designs throughout the range and impact materials as well.

Well done @Edward Lowy and the rest of the team, I'm sure many hours of hard work went into today's launch and hopefully it was well received.

Many thanks, your kind comments much appreciated by us all. We are very excited with the range and delighted with the reaction.

Kind regards

Edward

Does this mark the death of mainstream brands LB/LH?

We still offer Long Handle in some models, but the reality is that the demand has only gone south in recent years. LB Pretty much a victim of the demand for bigger swells, you just can't sensibly market a LB Big Boy to any kind of volume.

Kind regards

Yeah but as the women's range is only available in that colourway, it leaves you open to ridicule from ignorant toßers as it is obviously a women's range. At least the purple mogul range was mens too so not as obvious.

L/H has been a niche market for a while now one thought is a L/H  bat is more difficult to control

Really really like the new bat stickers, they're pure class

Shame all the bats are concaved though, would be nice to see one full profile but I guess customer demand isn't high enough

Impressive collection. Impressed with the plainer colour scheme on the softs.

Good to know, and yes I agree that's one reason I've personally moved away from LB. Which models are you doing in LH, don't suppose it would be any of the short blade models?

Just finished up at GM HQ seeing the range and meeting GM staff and fellow retailers alike. Now onto the bar, meal and night out!

GM do put more technical info into their catalogue and online then any other brand, so for those willing to delve into certain finer details, you can. The blade lengths are a little confusing at first, but well explained in their product information, and of course as long as you, the customer deal with a well informed, quality retailer (all of us attending today definitely are) then our understanding of the technicalities can be explained in a way that works for you :)

Personally I love the Neon range, and the Kaha is a brute!

The White/silver OLE 909 and 808 softs look superb, the new OLE WK glove is one of the best I've ever tried on, and I'm fussy when it comes to wk gloves

Am I the only one expecting drunken massages late night about how GM are amazing and GN were never as caring from the @Vitas Cricket guys?

Big fan of the Original LE softs. No major changes because they just 'work'. Like the white and silver though

Yet another high class offering.  GM really are class leading when it comes to decals and branding.  Won't be long before you sf and the like copying the darker backgrounds I'd say.

When does the new season gear usually hit the shelves?
