I would also recommend to go for Custom especially with the amount of money you will be spending on top range bats, you should get something of your own liking. I personally would go for B3 myself. I have had good experience with them. I have 3 B3 bats including a crown.
@Cublingtoncc - If you are interested in GM, then i would suggest GM Chrome Original cricket bat. Its basically a mesh of GM Octane and GM Mogul. Standard blade length with big edges and curved face. I personally have used both Octane and Mogul, at times i had wished for a fusion of these two .. guess someone at GM heard my thoughts !
So been looking int what bat this season.been either looking at top of the range GM or New balance Whats peoples opinions on either of them ??
I am really impressed by the GM bats for 2017. The pressing seems to have improved. I have seen 4 GM 2017 bats so far and all pinged beautifully. You can go for GN if you need the halestorm or kookaburra Xtreme in case you are looking 3lb full profile beast.
I want a bat made to the specs of joe root - wish he was still with GM!!!
B3 can do this.
yeah ive dropped them a message so just waiting to hear back
It is 'rumoured' that they have links with NB and make bats for some of their sponsored pros - although it is not thought that Root is one of them.
Either Stokes or Root I'm not bothered or finch or wade aha
