A wheelie duffle? That could be just what I've been looking for!

If only my previous GM bags hadn't both fallen apart in less than a season...

Looks ok at first glance. Not a massive fan of the black background on the big GM decals and preferred this years Mana colours.

Glad they've gone back to simpler colours in the softs (Original / 808 pads and gloves) as should make it easier to 'mix and match' with the different colour bats in the range.  Sure they'll both be big sellers!

Nice slick branding this year.

I think GM have upped their game. Impressed from the SD sale GM bats also, some pride behind their grading.

Just do not like the shoes!

Got briefly excited and then where are the pockets..!

Fan of the new stickers, will stand out from all the copies of the original white ones now, keep the exciting colours but less mental than last year. Blade lengths I think are a good move, average consumer won't even notice after all. Shame there's nothing for the taller players out there though.

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

Bat pockets? There are two internal bat sleeves if that's what you were after.

Just general compartments, love duffles but if a bag hasn't got somewhere to put wash kit and all the assorted small bits you need to take to a game then it's a bit useless for match day use. Really hoping this year will be the year when a duffle comes that isn't just one big space with a couple of pockets and bat sleeves attached, wheelie duffles would be a nice option too.

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.

Gutted those 909 pads aren't in women's size. Being a hobbit I find they fit me the best. Looks a good improvement to branding imo

Are the bats all round face now?
All F4.5, unless I've misread it.

Yep ... everything seems to be F4.5 now. I am gonna run around grabbing the last of octance F2 originals.

[sanredrose]

@Vitas Cricket - Since Octance F2 has been discontinued. Which model in the line up replaces this one ?

Thanks guys! Looking forward to the intensive range debrief tonight!

Yup, all F4.5 this year. Remember that we started the F-Tech program a few years ago in order to explore face options. The vast majority of the demand has now settled at 4.5, hence our 2017 ranging.

Kind regards

Had a look at the ST30 range?
