GM Maxi Limited Edition Cricket Bat (2027)

The GM Maxi Limited Edition from Gunn & Moore is a cricket bat made for powerful strikers who like to take the initiative and clear the boundary.

This Limited Edition builds on the Maxi's reputation as a hard-hitter's bat. The bold, imposing profile, pronounced low swell and substantial edges are designed to give clean strikers the confidence to attack from the first ball, while the dynamic pick-up helps keep the bat moving at speed through the shot.

It arrives in a striking yellow and black livery that is hard to miss at the crease. A new Signet Grip, made from soft rubber with a geometric shield pattern, offers traction, comfort and control so the bat stays settled in the hands when you are going for big shots.

Built around an F2 face profile and Powerarc bow, and made in England from prime English willow, this bat suits players who want to put the bowlers under pressure.

GM Limited Edition willow grade

• GM's very best unbleached, seasoned Grade 1 English willow
• Each cleft chosen for its grain structure and weight, so numbers depend on the willow available
• Every bat individually tested to make sure it gives 5 Star performance
• Top quality treble spring multi-piece cane handle for excellent feel, flex and control

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
