GM Galaxy 909 Cricket Bat (2027)

The GM Galaxy 909 Cricket Bat from Gunn & Moore is a well-balanced English willow bat for batters who want a lively pick-up and real power through the ball.

The 909 sits in the Galaxy range, which is built around a shortened L540 blade and an extended spine. That combination creates a profile designed to deliver serious impact, with the extra spine mass giving the stability to hit with authority. A mid-to-high swell keeps the bat feeling fast and light in the hands, so it picks up nicely and responds quickly when you want to take on the bowling.

The blade is shaped with an F2 face profile and a Powerarc bow, putting the power exactly where it counts. The Galaxy Grip finishes things off with a metallic textured surface that gives dependable traction and confident control through every shot.

Made in England from Prime English Willow, this is a bat for players who like to make their presence felt 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
