Even Tim machine shapes bats as it's quicker but the key to a good bat is the pressing as many have said I would not pay more for a bat that has been hand made from start to finish than a bat that has been machine shaped then hand finished but some would but who out of the bat makers that you know completly hand make bats from a raw cleft to finished article

The gm cnc is bigger than tims will be but it creates more complex shapes and the workforce that was doing the shaping can now go on the hand finishing and quality control side so you may be getting a better product that way

Look Im sorry I will never comment on GM again!!  ;)

I would always prefer to have a lovingly made hand pressed shaped CNC'd Bat from a smaller manufacturer.

Thats why I discovered this site its why I enjoy the debates on here and it's why ultimately I spoke up.

I myself prefer small brands as you can see in my kit but seemed like you were knocking the machine side of it which alot of brands do but looking back I may have got the wrong end of the stick so I appologise

On a not entirely related point, itæa always surprised me that nobody ever invented a machine to analyise a bats rebound qualities, if guess because they might be worried that their product would come off second best.

Anyone heard of this company? I know of JS Wright's and Anglian but I've only just noticed the bit where they mention cricket bats.

Kulli - GM hired a graduate to research this for 2 years before they came up with their DXM range and their new machine.  They believe they know the level of moisture content that is required to produce the best rebound performance.  They have upgraded their kiln drying process as a result.
