@SOULMAN1012 :
You spend a lot of money on bats, Chris. You have access to, and experience of using, some really great ones. So what is your fascination with lower grade models such as the GM Signatures?
Just curious.
@Bats_Entertainment Firstly because I am totally against paying £400-£700 for “top grade, G1, G1++++ or what ever” when know knowing after buying something 100 bats and spending £££ that grade means nothing vs performance. GM bats perform as well as any other in my opinion once prepared, GM are no where near as hard as they were and certainly this year can be used straight out the shop but mine have all had 90mins max mallet work and a few bola machine nets.
Secondly U.K. made is something that I prefer and would like to try and support and I get this at any grade with GM
Finally in the instance of GM the handle shapes and size are just perfect for me as I prefer a semi oval handle and single grip and every GM I have picked up has had a decent sized grip. In addition there softs are some of the best in the market and offer a genuine small men’s size not just a youth sized option.
I have 3 top, top end bats in my collection but can honestly say unless I ever get to a position or more money than sense I will
not be spending the kind of money I have in the past as you just don’t need to in my opinion
