Big fan of your kit mate, are the chase and B3 based on this GM?
How’d you find the yellow GM grips, interested to hear your thoughts?
Thank you!
They aren’t actually - the B3 came first, then the Chase, then the GM (which i liked as it was similar to the B3). The Chase has a much lower middle and serves mainly as my option for slower and lower wickets/slower bowlers. The GM actually has a couple of modifications to bring it closer to the B3, including a bit of medical tape to oval up the handle and the handle being shortened slightly by having the top cut down and replacing the weight/feel with some additional grip rings. I thought long and hard about doing the latter, but it is such a ridiculous gun that I’m never selling it, so decided not to worry about resale value!
I really like the GM matrix grips - they are nice and soft, grippy and not too thick. I did have all three bats fitted with Hex grips, but when I got the new Garrard gloves (which have different palms than the B3s) I found that i preferred the feel of the matrix grip in that glove/grip combo.
