GM Maxi Delta 808 Cricket Bat (2027)

The GM Maxi Delta 808 cricket bat from Gunn & Moore is made for big-hitting batters who like to attack from the first ball and clear the boundary with clean, powerful strikes.

Built for the modern power player, this Maxi has a bold, imposing profile with a pronounced low swell and substantial edges, giving clean strikers the confidence to take the initiative. The dynamic pick-up keeps the bat moving at speed, and the Delta machining aims to deliver lightweight power in an optimised profile that is easy to get through the air. It is not a bat for the cautious. It is for batters who want to impose themselves on the bowling and keep the opposition on the back foot.

The finish is a striking yellow and black livery that is hard to miss. A new Signet Grip, made from soft premium rubber with a geometric shield pattern, gives confident traction, comfort and control when you are swinging hard. The bat 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
