Assume it’s a staggered launch and maybe released the Diamond first assuming stokes would play and use in England’s opening WC game
Yes Staggered launch. Not sure of the dates for the rest of the range.

Really good accessible game is cricket 🤦‍♂️ is it any wonder that garbage imports have so much traction in the UK club scene?

Still some good value out there imo 👀

In fairness, they do have bats in the range at lower price points and not to want to bang the same drum, but the pricing is generally consumer driven imo. You want low density, ruler straight grains? You're gonna have to pay top dollar.
This is also partly why a lot of the cheap imported bats don't last, as they're trying to achieve this at a tighter budget point, with heavier willow which is then overdried, cheap thin handles used etc

Not that you're thinking of anyone in particular 😅

GM do have some better value bats and their Signatures are great for the price, these 750 quid or more luxury bats just seem so far removed from reasonable pricing.

The price of top end bats is nuts. I think this means its really hard to compare like for like if you are thinking of making a purchase. What is the GM 808 in SS TON or GN 5 star  etc etc for the big brands and even worse trying to marry up with the middle and niche guys who thankfully tend to have less 'grades' to decipher.

As this is a GM thread....... I do think they offer decent pricing at the lower end, compared to some big names (although not on my list of preferred options).

I just realized that the new Diamond has a lion amidst the blue. I thought it was just a cool swirly design.

Agree, whatever the reasons are for the price increase it really is a far cry when under 15 years ago (i think memory is going) you could get a grade 1 for circa 200!
