GM Diamond Signature Cricket Bat

Overview

The GM Diamond Signature Cricket Bat is expertly crafted for players seeking a blend of power and control. Developed in collaboration with England's captain, Ben Stokes, this bat features a shortened L540 blade design and a mid swell position, offering a dynamic sweet spot ideal for all-round stroke play. Its distinctive design, complemented by the Hex grip, ensures superior handling and comfort.

Design and Materials

Handcrafted from seasoned unbleached Grade 2 English willow, the Diamond Signature showcases a full profile with no concaving, resulting in substantial edges and a pronounced bow for improved pick-up. The mid swell position caters to versatile stroke play, suitable for both front and back-foot shots. The bat is fitted with a treble spring multi-piece cane handle, providing excellent feel, flex, and control. Additionally, it features GM's ToeTek finish, which includes a specially shaped resilient shield fitted to the toe to reduce damage and resist dampness.

Key Technologies

  • F4.5 Face Profile: Provides a flatter face for enhanced control and consistent power across the blade.
  • Powerarc Bow Face Profile: Improves pick-up and balance, facilitating swift shot execution.
  • Hex Grip: Engineered to offer superior grip and comfort, ensuring optimal handling.
  • GM NOW! & ToeTek Finish: Offers immediate readiness and protects against moisture and toe damage.
