Just thought I would post some pictures and a short review of my new bat. The bat was brought from Mapperley sports(www.cricketsales.co.uk) today.
Mapperley Sports have got the GM bats before any other retailer in the UK and I think I am one of the 1st person to buy the new GM Epic 2012 bat. After looking at what Mapperley sports had, I picked this out of 8 GM epic 808 bats bcoz this had a bigger bow then other bats and it felt really good. Also this has biggest edges and profile.
Bat weighs 2lb 10oz and with a pick up index of 2, its seem very responsive which I'm very pleased with. It only has 5 grains, which I don't really mind, but it still seems to ping really well. I compared it to LE bats they had there wasnt much difference in ping/sound so I decided to buy an 808.
Overall, the customer service from Mapperley Sports was excellent as usual, so much so that I will purchase 2 more GM 808 bats, a new kookaburra kahuna in next few weeks.
