GM Noir 2019
« on: October 19, 2018, 12:27:10 PM »
After seeing the release of the new GM 2019 range i managed to pick up this beauty from Clean Hit Cricket. Weighs 2.9, and fabulous looking bat for £130. Was surprised by some of GM's grading for some of there others bats.

Where do the signatures fall into their grading?

I see it seems to fall between 606 and 707, I wonder what the idea is there, is it a 5 star dealer only job?

I do wish GM went the way of Kookaburra and really simplified their grading, the Signature's, Signature LE's, Players bats don't half confuse me.

Haven't they got about 8 grades which cover the top 2 grades of willow? Players Edition, Original LE, Original, Signature LE, 909, 808, 707, Signature.

Not trying to bring controversy but I read how a batmaker independant commented how the big companies have also many different profile shapes ie low middle , mid middle just to create sales

It was suggested the idea of a low middle and a mid middle is a con ..

Not sure what to think about that .. I do think bats have a lower middle on some but the opinion was to the contrary

Great bat hope you like it btw

I think I can guess which batmaker you mean... not one of his better theories. In any case companies offering consumers plenty of different choices is hardly a bad thing, not everyone likes their bats the same after all.

If he were right we'd all be using the same bat and there would be no need to have a million different companies offering equipment.

Out of interest who do you think it is

No names need to be mentioned but location of batmaker would give the gist
