GM 2024 Adult bats feature two different blade lengths.
L540 and L555.
Each blade shape is optimised for a specific blade length. As blade length decreases, handle length increases so that the overall length of the bat remains constant. Shorter blades allow for faster hands through the ball, more dynamic sweet spots, larger swells, supreme balance and explosive power.
GM NOW!
- “Knocked-in” by the bat maker in-house.
- Raw linseed oil applied to reduce cracking and splitting by maintaining the moisture level of the blade.
- Clear anti-scuff cover applied to the face and edges to increase blade durability.
TOETEK ™
- DriGuard applied to resist damp and minimise toe swelling.
- Specially shaped resilient shield fitted to toe of bat.
- Reduces toe damage and feathering that is often caused by tapping at the crease.
- Further barrier to damp
