Product Details
Product Details
The best willow GM will sell you in Rival colours. Limited Edition is the top of the tree — a hand-picked, top-of-the-cleft English willow blade, made in tiny numbers, pressed by GM's most experienced bat makers in Nottingham. Rival is the range Team GM's Wihan Lubbe and James Coles put their name to for 2026.
The Rival shape
Rival is built for the all-round shot-maker: GM's classic L555 blade with a mid-to-low swell, sweeping contours and huge toe depth, finished with the Powerarc bow. It drives like a dream and still gives you the mass low in the blade to clear the rope.
