GM have been proud to support some of the worlds top players including Mike Gatting, Michael, Vaughan, Marcus Trescothick, Stephen Flemming, Herschelle Gibbs, Graeme Smith & Brendon McCullum to name a few. Their revolutionary DXM technology is market leading allowing bat profiles to be accurately replicated across the grades & expertly finished & prepared for use with GMNOW & ToeTek!

The GM Diamond has appeared in many forms with ancestry back to the 1980’s however the Diamond we have come to know & love thanks to England test Captain Ben Stokes, is a cut above.

The Diamond is a short blade profile with mid to high power zone. To keep the overall height as SH extra length is given to the handle allowing a reduction in weight & more space on the handle allowing a more dynamic & powerful playing style.

Profile

Overview: L540 blade, with mid to high blade profile balancing size & pickup. Ideal for dynamic stroke play.
Powerzone: Mid to high blade combined with the addedhandle length allows for attacking strokeson front or back foot& suitable for players looking to capitalise on aerial strokes & attacking at the end of the innings.
Shaping: Shorter blade allows more wood to be left in the hitting are meaning there is little to no concaving here, so you get a lot of wood!
Handle: High quality 6-piece Singapore cane, round handle, ideal for attacking players looking to hit over the top.
Toe: Classical rounded toe aids balance & gives a traditional feel in set-up.
