GM Icon or Puma Iridium 4000 GT Cricket Bat
I am considering both of these bats to buy beggining of next season. I just want your thoughts of the bats below.
Thanks

Hi mate,

Last weekend I played with a GM Hero DMX, which, in my opinion, is a simular bat to GM Icon.

It’s a pretty good bat, smooth delivery, really plays well.
I do recall that the Puma bat you‘re talking about is almost half the price of the GM.

Just go to the shop, feel which bat pleases you the most and go for it.
I think if you can afford the GM, just be honest with yourself. Otherwise you may end up with a bat that doesn’t deliverers like you want and you may consider buying the other one anyway.

I hope this is some decent advice.

Maybe something you could take in consideration as well.
Normally both GM and Puma might release a new range of bats, after this season.

This means you may have a discount or have the difficulty to choose from their new bats.

Sorry for teasing you mate.

Totally disgree with that.

TBH, I was looking for the same two bats, for me Puma Iridium.
I just love it from what I've seen, its a winner for me.

Dont get me wrong, I love the ICON DMX aswell, but PUMA IRIDIUM is the one i would always buy.

I don't see where I can have been wrong unless there is absolutely no simularity between the GM Icon DMX and the GM Hero DMX.

Still I think it's a good idea to check both bats at the shop, because everybody experiences differently.

I'm not bothered about the money I just want the bat with the best performance.
I will look in the cricket shops in the week then I will post again.

 

[Amobokobokoboko]

Good luck mate and hopefully it's easy for you to make your chose.

I reckon what Amobokobokoboko is saying about the go to the shop thing is probably your best bet.

 

[kevinpietersen]

I can't find a shop that sells them anyone know one?

As it is summer holiday you may consider a daytrip to a biggercity in your area, maybe do some research on the net Phonenumber etc... and ask them before you actually go if they have those bats in stock
