Whilst looking in DW sports this afternoon I car across this grainy 707. Pickup was lovely too.Ive never had a GM but was quite tempted with this.

Looks good. Personally not a huge fan of GM's but many people rate them so they must suit a lot of people.
Is it me or are 909's, 707's and 505's less common than 808's, 606's and 404's?

It was £120. Would guess definately no heavier than 2.9. My only gripe was it had a thick lower part of the handle were as I've got used to my thinner Gray Nicolls handles recently. I didn't buy it because I bought a new SS bat just after Xmas.

Wow. I’m not sure I could have been so strong willed... not googling their website at all now.

That looks stunning for any grade bat - was tempted by the zelos as it picked up lovely but opted for a neon as I like a higher middle.

You have to go back and get that surely!

Spoken to the bat makers at GM a few times. Their view is that heartwood is harder therefore takes longer to knock in. Why would you want to have a weaker area on your bat? Appreciate this isn't a shared view.
Anyway the bat looks great. There are always some cracking GM lower grades in the shops. They don't allow retailers to hand pick and are very hard n their grading. Best of the big manufacturers for non top-grade bats I reckon.

That looks very very similar to an Icon 606 that I picked up a couple of years back, mine probably has a bit more speck though. I'd have bought that on the spot - the GM handle shape feels great after a little while.

I might have another trip down this weekendand take my scales with me.if any of my bets come in on saturday I may even snap her up. I guarantee it will still be there. No one ever seems to buy bats from there with romida 2 miles down the road.I remember them having a GN fusion for years
