GM Maxi 606 Cricket Bat (2027)

The GM Maxi 606 cricket bat from Gunn & Moore is a power-hitting bat for clean strikers who like to take the initiative and attack the boundary from the outset.

The Maxi has long been a favourite among aggressive stroke-makers, and the 606 carries that boundary-clearing character forward. It has a bold, imposing profile with a pronounced low swell and substantial edges, which gives batters the confidence to go after the bowling early. The dynamic pick-up helps keep the bat moving at speed through the shot, so it suits anyone who prefers to put the opposition under pressure rather than play the waiting game.

The bat is finished in an eye-catching yellow and black livery that certainly won't blend into the background. A new Signet Grip, made from premium soft rubber with a geometric shield pattern, offers comfortable traction and helps keep the bat secure in your hands when you're swinging with intent.

It is built around an F2 face profile and a Powerarc bow, and is made in England from prime English willow.

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
