Would love to see the process first hand!

@Edward Lowy

Will gm ever go down the “classic” route and release a vintage bat like some other manufacturers have?

I always regretted not getting a 05 shape hero and purist whole o and the chance!

I’m sure there’s be a market (maybe only on here) for two of the great bat shapes!

I'd encourage anyone who can make it to take the tour of the GM factory. Such an impressive facility manned by knowledgeable people who really care about cricket.

I've been 4 times and have learned something new every single time.

A "modernised" version of the Original Purist would be dreamy.
Retain the basic shape with the high spine and zero concaving, but thicker edges than the old version and retro stickers please!

I would love to go on a GM factory tour, if it can be arranged. May have to leave my credit card at home, though...

Never say never, but I'm tempted to say No.

However romantic Retro sounds, I feel the game changes - whenever we compare a bat of today with a much loved past master, they look shapeless and - frankly - wimpy! Better I think to provide bats relevent for today's game, to keep in step and set trends for the future.

How many people, I wonder, would pay a chunk of change for an older shape? Would it be for playing or collecting?

Kind regards
