The SPARQ is part of the next generation of GM bats designed to offer players a more dynamic experience with an L540 blade. Reducing blade length reduces overall weight allowing more wood to be left in the hitting area. Extra length in the handle allows for a dynamic sweet-spotas players can change distance from hands to middle easily.
Profile
Overview: L540 blade, with mid to high blade profile balancing size & pickup. Ideal for dynamic stroke play. Offset profile improves balance by having the thickest part of the swell closer towards than hands than the thickest part of the& edges. Powerarcbow improves power off the face & makes it easier to hit lofted shots.
Powerzone: Mid to high blade combined with the addedhandle length allows for attacking strokeson front or back foot & suitable for players looking to capitalise on aerial strokes & attacking at the end of the innings.
Shaping: Concaving in the back allows for bigger edges & more pronounced spine. Shorter blade allows more wood to be left in the hitting area & mild duck billing in the toe maximises balance allowing for faster hands.
Handle: High quality 6-piece Singapore cane, round handle, ideal for attacking players looking to hit over the top.
Toe: Squared toe with rounded corners gives an extra wide look to the bat in stance
Grip: White Pro-Lite grip gives an exceptionally authentic feel& one of the thinnest grips on the market.
finish: All GM bats come pre-prepared with GMNOW, which prepares the face & finished with Anti-Scuff sheet. ToeTek toe guard is applied at factory after the toe has been treated with dri-guard to reduce toe swell from water ingress.
