I was always going to get one of these when I saw the shape on the early release pics and only ever going to get it from
@Six Sixes Cricket as the service is just second to none.
Shape wise I loved my PE but sold it on to put some money into my own brand that I launched in the summer but my GM’s over the last 4 seasons have all been superb and for me are my favourite brand.
So this as many have seen is basically a stock option of the players edition shape that all the GM pro’s mainly use with the L555 traditional length blade. Duckbill toe and all the wood in the driving area. Pretty common “Pro” shape at the moment.
This is the G2 signature model which from the big brands offers arguably the best value for money for looks and performance, 8 grains that’s are almost perfectly straight with a couple of little pub marks towards the top of the bat but away drill playing area and match through the back of the bat.
Weight is dead on 2.9 but feels very light, lovely think oval handle and these new grips are certainly thin, not sure how long they will last but I guess the fascination with dead weight has meant a lighter grip to more of these under 2.10 naked weight. Personally I’ll change to a U.K. chevron that I have on any bat I use.
Anyway here are a few pics
