GM Galaxy 808 Cricket Bat (2027)

The GM Galaxy 808 is a Gunn & Moore cricket bat for players who want a punchy, modern profile with a quick feel through the hands.

This Galaxy 808 pairs a shortened L540 blade with an extended spine, giving a compact shape that carries plenty of mass behind the ball. A mid-to-high swell keeps the pick-up light and the balance lively, so the bat feels easy to move even when you are looking to hit with real authority. The F2 face profile and Powerarc bow work together to place the power where you want it, while the striking livery gives it presence at the crease.

The Galaxy Grip has a metallic textured surface designed to offer solid traction and confident control. Built in England from Prime English Willow, this is a bat for batters who like to make their mark at the crease and want a design that backs up that attitude.

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
