Which GM Bat to go with?

[Cover Drive]

Then it is good

As long it is getting better and better with knocking you're good to goo!

lol CD chill. Apex bats are actually quite good. A lot of players use it and thb it's a pretty good bat for someone who is stronger on the offside.

who is stronger on the offside.

wat? a bat for the offside?

wat does a legside bat look like?

I want one which will hit the ball STRAIGHT everytime

 

[adill420]

lol. Bro have you personally seen an apex bat?

The 2 bats worth mentioning are Luna and Icon.

I have been very happy with my Icon GM+

 

[adill420]

The handle broke on my GM Icon

Any ideas on what I should do?

Can you tell me which GM Icon ??
And how much you pay for it ??

 

[Cover Drive]

WOOW!!! How ? When ? Post pictures of it bro!

Were you using cheap balls ?

It is under warranty email pictures to Micheal and you will have to ship to UK and it will be repaired/replaced FOC.

 

[adill420]

Sucks for me. Barely played 3 matches with the bat. Never used cheap balls. I just sent an email to Michael. Shipping to UK and then back to me would end up costing quite a bit so we have to see if it's going to be worth it that way.

The handle didn't break into 2 pieces. Basically there is an opening so if I were to lift the bat in the air you can see the opening.

Here are a couple of pics:

Doesn't look too serious to be honest.

Not sure what you mean?

The bat not usable for me, so it is serious

Hmm I can't see the breakage due to the binding, but if you feel a lot then I believe it is serious breakage.

How much is postage to UK for a single bat?

 

[adill420]

Yea it's difficult to show the breakage in pictures. Basically if I were to hold a grip I can jerk the bat back & forth without actually moving the handle much. Postage will probably be around $25-$40

so on the high side if the postage was $40 from here and $50 back from UK to me that's $90

Not really sure how to go forward. For now I am waiting to hear back from Michael

Surely you can just go to an American cricket store somewhere and get the handle replaced. Not as if your entire bat is gone forever.

Yes but in US he will have to pay for handle replacement as well whereas in UK handle replacement is free.

Adil Bhai, my friends Puma broke and he has to ship it back to UK to Micheal who is getting it repaired for free of cost.

After some thinking, I don't think I want to get the handle replaced by any American cricket store. Unfortunately, there are only a handful of stores here and none of them have been reliable in simply providing basic service so I wouldn't trust them touching my bat.

CD Bhai, I guess I will have to suck it up and ship it to Michael and call it a day. On the bright side, it could've been much worst and I could've broken the bat where it wouldn't have been useful so I am glad it's only the handle.

By the way, CD Bhai, do you know if changing the handle will any effects on the bat's pick up index?

Since you will be getting handle replaced from GM and they will be using exact same product so I highly doubt it will affect the pickup seriously.

With American's the problem is that there are many chances no one will be using same genuine handle and you won't get stickers as well.

So Adil Bhai do you mind if I ask what did you end up doing?
