GM Azora Delta 808 Cricket Bat (2027)

The GM Azora Delta 808 is a Gunn & Moore cricket bat for players who like to take control on the front foot and want a bat that feels light and quick in the hands.

Part of the new Azora line, the Delta 808 pairs a bold, imposing profile with a light pick-up, so it feels easy to swing but still carries real authority at the point of contact. The shortened L540 blade, pronounced low swell and sweeping contours work together to build a generous hitting zone, while the F2 face profile and Powerarc bow are shaped to help the bat perform through the stroke.

The Delta designation brings GM's CAD/CAM machining and the DXM 2.0 profile, aimed at delivering power and pick-up in a SuperLight shape. A Fuze Grip gives a secure, confident connection between hands and handle. The bat is made in England from Prime English Willow, and its distinctive design introduces a fresh silhouette to the GM range.

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
