GM Maxi Original Cricket Bat - SH

Gunn & Moore Maxi Original Cricket Bat The Gunn & Moore Maxi Original Senior Cricket Bat is a premium Grade 1 English willow cricket bat designed for attacking players who favour front foot stroke play and fast bat speed. Made in England with a compact 540 mm blade, low swell and F2 face profile, the Maxi puts its hitting shape lower in the blade while maintaining the responsive pickup needed for positive stroke play. It is a distinctive senior cricket bat for players who like to get forward, hit through the ball and want a more compact blade than a conventional senior cricket bat. The low swell is built for front foot dominant batters, allowing players to excel while driving and attacking fuller deliveries. Combined with the F2 face profile, the Maxi provides a shape aimed at powerful ball striking while retaining a responsive feel through contact GM NOW! Preparation The Maxi comes with GM NOW! preparation, a protective facing and ToeTek™ fitted, reducing the preparation required before you begin using the bat. We still recommend gradually introducing any new English willow cricket bat to harder impacts. Start with gentle throwdowns and an older cricket ball before progressing through spin and seam bowling in the nets. This gives the newly prepared willow time to condition before facing a hard new ball in match play. Who is the GM Maxi Original Senior best for? The GM Maxi Original Senior is best suited to attacking, front foot dominant cricketers who want a premium Grade 1 English willow bat with a compact blade and low swell. It is particularly relevant for players who value quick pickup and bat speed but still want plenty of hitting power through the lower part of the blade. What should you consider before buying? The Maxi's 540 mm blade and low swell give it a different feel and hitting profile from a conventional senior cricket bat. Players who prefer a traditional blade length or want the main hitting area positioned higher up the blade may be better suited to another GM profile. If you are a front foot dominant player who likes a compact, responsive bat, the Maxi is well worth comparing in hand.
