GM Galaxy Signature Cricket Bat - SH

Gunn & Moore Galaxy Signature Senior Cricket Bat

The Gunn & Moore Galaxy Signature Senior Cricket Bat is a Grade 2 English willow cricket bat designed for accomplished club players who want the versatile Galaxy shape at a more accessible price point than the premium Original models. Its 555 mm blade, F2 face profile and mid-to-high swell create a balanced shape suited to batters who score from both front and back foot.

The defining feature of the Galaxy is its mid-to-high swell position. More of the bat's profile is carried through the middle and upper areas of the blade than on a low-profile cricket bat, creating a versatile hitting zone for players who use a broad range of strokes.

This makes the Galaxy particularly relevant to all-round stroke-makers. It provides a shape suited to driving on the front foot while also supporting players who regularly cut, pull and score off the back foot. For cricketers playing across multiple formats, the Galaxy provides the versatility to adapt between attacking T20 cricket, one-day matches and longer innings.

The Galaxy Signature is made in Nottingham, England, continuing Gunn & Moore's long-standing English bat-making production.

GM NOW! preparation

The Gunn & Moore Galaxy Signature comes with GM NOW! preparation, protective facing and ToeTek™ fitted, reducing the preparation required before you begin using the bat.

Even with GM NOW! preparation, we recommend gradually introducing any new English willow bat to harder impacts. Begin with gentle throwdowns using an older cricket ball, then progress through spin and seam bowling in the nets before facing a hard new ball at full match intensity.

What should you consider before buying?

The Galaxy's mid-to-high swell is the main profile characteristic to consider. Players specifically looking for a lower sweet spot for predominantly front-foot hitting may be better suited to a lower-profile bat.

Willow grade is another consideration. The Signature uses Grade 2 English Willow, while the Galaxy Original models use Grade 1 willow. Grade 2 can have more visual imperfections than Grade 1, but this does not necessarily mean a Grade 2 bat will perform poorly. Pick-up, weight, profile and the characteristics of the individual cleft remain important when choosing your bat.
