With its 540 mm blade, low swell and F2 face profile, the Maxi Signature is particularly well suited to attacking, front foot dominant batters who value quick pickup and bat speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact blade gives the Maxi a noticeably different feel from a conventional senior cricket bat. It is a good option for players who want to get the bat through quickly while retaining plenty of willow through the lower hitting area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maxi Signature is made from Grade 2 English willow, making it a practical option for regular club cricket. Compared with higher grade Maxi models, you can expect more cosmetic variation in the willow, but you still get the same core Maxi profile and playing characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGM NOW! Preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maxi comes with GM NOW! preparation, a protective facing and ToeTek™ fitted, reducing the preparation required before you begin using the bat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe still recommend gradually introducing any new English willow cricket bat to harder impacts. Start with gentle throwdowns and an older cricket ball before progressing through spin and seam bowling in the nets. This gives the newly prepared willow time to condition before facing a hard new ball in match play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the GM Maxi Signature best for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GM Maxi Signature is best suited to club cricketers who favour attacking, front foot stroke play and want a Grade 2 English willow bat with a compact blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is particularly worth considering if you like the Maxi profile but do not need the higher willow grade found in the premium models. Players who prefer a conventional blade length or a higher middle may be better suited to another GM profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should you consider before buying?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maxi's 540 mm blade and low swell give it a different feel and hitting profile from a conventional senior cricket bat. Players who prefer a traditional blade length or want the main hitting area positioned higher up the blade may be better suited to another GM profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are a front foot dominant player who likes a compact, responsive bat, the Maxi is well worth comparing in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrade 2 English willow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e540 mm blade length\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow swell suits front foot dominant stroke play\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF2 face profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreble spring multi piece cane handle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDXM 2.0 technology\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Nottingham\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Brittain Wynyard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67698876645544,"sku":null,"price":799.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2498\/6462\/files\/Gunn___Moore_Maxi_Signature_Cricket_Bat_Face639232492501622414.png?v=1792469479","url":"https:\/\/sportingedge.co.nz\/products\/gm-maxi-signature-cricket-bat-sh","provider":"Sporting Edge Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
