GM Maxi Signature Cricket Bat (2027)

The GM Maxi Signature cricket bat from Gunn & Moore is a big-hitting willow bat made for power players who like to take the bowling on from the first ball.

The Maxi has long been a favourite among clean strikers, and this Signature model carries that boundary-clearing character forward with a bold, imposing profile. A pronounced low swell and substantial edges give attacking batters the confidence to go after the ball, while a dynamic pick-up helps keep the bat moving at speed through the shot. It is built around an F2 face profile and a Powerarc bow, and it is made in England from prime English willow.

The look is as uncompromising as the strokeplay it is designed for, with a striking yellow and black finish that is hard to miss at the crease. A new Signet Grip, made from premium soft rubber with an engineered geometric shield pattern, offers reassuring traction, comfort and control when you are swinging hard.

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
