Which GM bat

Amobokobokoboko · 29-12-2009, 01:55 PM

HI guys,

My new bat will be a GM. As I'm searching for a light bat a friend of mine recommended the Catalyst or the Purist 2. Unfortunately I will only be able to go to the UK around April so the Catalyst and Purist may by than be replaced by the FLare and Apex DMX ( who look so cool) So which bat would you recommend?

Hero, Icon, Flare, Apex? I will try them all off course but it's good to have an idea.

Thanks

I'm hardly a bat expert....but I have a hero and I like it, feels good/light in the hands

I've got an Icon 909 and love it. Had it for most of last season, and it really is a beauty of a bat. Thick edges, great middle, awesome pick-up, just a great all-round bat.

Thanks guys, it's just that a mate of mine who sticks to GM advised me a Catalyst but with the new range coming up I'm actually keen of the 4 bats they release :-)

Meh to be honest all GM bats are good, just depends what you fancy. The Icon seems to be pretty much for power and placement. The hero looks like a timing and feel type of bat whilst the Purist seems like a good defensive type of bat.

Hope that helps

gm icon ftw!
the icon is the buisness, a real gem of a bat.

the hero is like every other bat like it, kookaburra ice, hunts county pulse, adidas pellara.
they all feel quite heavy, cos the sweetspot is low, and they r awesome on drives, but useless on sweeps n wat not.

Did anybody tried the new Apex/Flare bats already?

Would love to, maybe in a couple months.
