GM Azora 606 Cricket Bat (2027)

The GM Azora 606 is a Gunn & Moore cricket bat for players who like to take the game on from the front foot and want a bat that feels light and quick in the hands.

Part of the new Azora line from GM, the 606 pairs a striking, imposing profile with an impressive weight-to-feel ratio, so it picks up easily yet still delivers real authority at the moment of impact. A shortened L540 blade, pronounced low swell and sweeping contours combine to create a powerful hitting zone, while the F2 face profile and Powerarc bow are designed to maximise performance through the stroke.

Crafted in England from Prime English Willow, the Azora 606 is finished with a Fuze Grip for a secure, confident connection between hands and handle. Its bold design introduces a completely new GM silhouette, making it as eye-catching in the kit bag as it is at the crease.

GM NOW! and ToeTek fitted as standard

GM NOW! means the bat is prepared at the factory before it reaches you:

• Knocked in by GM's own batmakers
• Raw linseed oil applied to hold the moisture level of the blade, which reduces cracking and splitting
• Clear anti-scuff cover fitted to the face and edges to make the blade last longer

ToeTek protects the part of the bat that takes the most punishment:

• DriGuard applied to the toe to resist damp and limit toe swelling
• A specially shaped, resilient shield fitted to the toe
• Cuts down the toe damage and feathering that tapping at the crease often causes
• An extra barrier against damp
