Why Choose a GM Cricket Bat?
Gunn & Moore, commonly known as GM, has a long association with cricket bat manufacturing and offers bats across different grades, profiles and price points.
For 2026, Wiz Sports stocks GM bats for:
-
Junior cricketers
-
Harrow players
-
Senior club players
-
Competitive cricketers
-
Players looking for premium English Willow
-
Players wanting professional-inspired models
The key is choosing a bat that suits your batting style, preferred sweet spot, pickup, size and budget rather than simply choosing the highest-priced model.
New GM Diamond Cricket Bats for 2026
The GM Diamond range is one of the standout options in the latest collection.
Associated with Ben Stokes, the Diamond profile is designed around versatile stroke play and a balanced feel.
GM Diamond L555 808 – Short Handle
The GM Diamond L555 808 English Willow Cricket Bat 2026 is a strong option for senior players looking for a quality English Willow bat with an all-round profile.
Its mid-positioned hitting area makes it particularly interesting for batters who want to play both front-foot and back-foot shots rather than being restricted to one style of play.
Consider it if you want:
-
An all-round batting profile
-
English Willow construction
-
Balanced pickup
-
A Short Handle senior bat
-
Ben Stokes-inspired Diamond styling
GM Diamond L555 808 Junior
Young players aren't left out of the new range.
The GM Diamond L555 808 Junior Cricket Bat 2026 is available for developing cricketers who want a higher-quality junior English Willow bat.
The junior model is available in Size 6 and Harrow, making it suitable for players approaching senior cricket but who are not yet ready for a full Short Handle bat.
It is an especially useful option for juniors developing a complete range of shots.
GM Rival Cricket Bats 2026
Players who prefer a more aggressive batting style should also look at the new GM Rival range.
The Rival profile places greater emphasis on power and attacking stroke play.
GM Rival 808 Cricket Bat
The GM Rival 808 Cricket Bat 2026 combines a powerful profile with an emphasis on balanced pickup.
This makes it worth considering for batters who like to:
-
Drive aggressively
-
Attack fuller deliveries
-
Hit through the line
-
Play positively against pace and spin
-
Generate power without wanting an excessively cumbersome bat
If your batting is built around positive intent rather than simply occupying the crease, the Rival range deserves a closer look.
GM Rival Junior Cricket Bats
Wiz Sports has also added Rival 808 Junior and Rival 404 Junior options.
That means younger cricketers can choose a Rival-style profile without having to move prematurely into an adult Short Handle bat.
For juniors, always choose the correct bat size before comparing grades or profiles.
New GM Noir Cricket Bats
The GM Noir range is another major part of the new 2026 collection.
Current options include bats such as:
-
GM Noir DELTA 808
-
GM Noir DELTA 606
-
GM Noir DELTA 404
-
GM Noir DXM 404
-
GM Noir DXM 606
-
GM Noir DXM 909
-
GM Noir Original
This gives players several price and specification levels within the same broader GM range.
If you're deciding between models, don't focus on the number alone.
Compare:
-
Willow specification
-
Bat profile
-
Sweet-spot position
-
Pickup
-
Playing weight
-
Your style of batting
A 404, 606, 808 or 909 model may suit different players depending on budget and performance requirements.
GM Psyche Cricket Bats
The GM Psyche is another important addition to the current range.
Wiz Sports now carries senior and junior Psyche options, including the Psyche 404, Psyche 606, Psyche Original and a Players Edition model.
This makes the Psyche range worth considering for players who want to explore something different from the traditional Diamond or Rival profiles.
Ben Duckett Players Edition GM Psyche
At the premium end of the range sits the GM Ben Duckett Players Edition PSYCHE Cricket Bat 2026/27.
This model is inspired by the specifications used by England batter Ben Duckett and is aimed at serious cricketers looking for a substantial professional-style profile.
A Players Edition bat is not automatically the right option for everyone.
It makes the most sense for experienced players who:
-
Know their preferred bat weight
-
Understand the type of profile they like
-
Play competitive cricket regularly
-
Want a premium English Willow bat
-
Prioritise high-level pickup and performance characteristics
Ben Stokes GM Diamond Players Edition
Another premium option is the GM Ben Stokes Diamond Players Edition Cricket Bat 2026.
This sits at the top end of the Diamond family and is designed around the type of profile associated with Ben Stokes.
It will appeal most to experienced batters who already know they enjoy the Diamond shape and want to move into the premium end of the range.
For most club players, however, models such as the Diamond 606 or 808 may offer a more practical balance between performance and budget.
Aiden Markram GM Maxi Players Edition
Wiz Sports also stocks the GM Aiden Markram Maxi Players Edition 2026.
This professional-inspired model is designed for players who favour powerful front-foot stroke play.
Rather than buying it simply because of the player name, think about whether the profile matches the way you actually bat.
If you spend a lot of time driving and attacking fuller deliveries, a profile designed around front-foot power may make more sense than one with a different sweet-spot position.
Which GM Cricket Bat Should You Choose?
With so many new Gunn & Moore cricket bats available, choosing can feel difficult.
Here is a simple starting point.
For All-Round Stroke Players
Consider the GM Diamond range.
Its balanced profile makes it useful for players who score both front and back of the wicket.
For Aggressive Batters
Look closely at the GM Rival range.
It may appeal to players who want a powerful profile for positive stroke play.
For Players Comparing Different Grades
The GM Noir range gives you multiple specifications, including 404, 606, 808, and 909 models.
For Premium Players Edition Bats
Compare:
-
Ben Stokes Diamond Players Edition
-
Ben Duckett Psyche Players Edition
-
Aiden Markram Maxi Players Edition
These are better suited to experienced players who already understand what they want from their bat.
For Junior Cricketers
Look at the new:
-
GM Diamond 404 Junior
-
GM Diamond 606 Junior
-
GM Diamond 808 Junior
-
GM Diamond Original Junior
-
GM Rival 404 Junior
-
GM Rival 808 Junior
The correct size and manageable pickup should come before willow grade when choosing a junior cricket bat.
What Do GM 404, 606, 808 and 909 Mean?
You'll notice many GM bats use numbers such as 404, 606, 808 and 909.
These identify different specifications within GM's range.
Rather than assuming the largest number is automatically the right bat, compare each model based on:
-
Willow quality
-
Playing level
-
Budget
-
Pickup
-
Profile
-
How often you play
A regular club cricketer may find an 808 ideal, while another player may get everything they need from a 404 or 606.
Junior vs Adult GM Cricket Bats
Bat size remains one of the most important decisions.
Junior players should generally stay with the appropriate junior or Harrow size until they are physically ready for an adult bat.
An oversized bat can reduce:
-
Bat speed
-
Timing
-
Control
-
Comfort at the crease
If you're unsure about sizing, use the Wiz Sports cricket bat sizing information before ordering.

English Willow GM Cricket Bats
Many of the new bats in the GM collection use English Willow, with options available across different specifications and price points.
When comparing English Willow cricket bats, consider more than appearance.
Pay attention to:
-
Bat pickup
-
Weight
-
Sweet spot
-
Handle feel
-
Profile
-
Willow grade
-
Your playing standard
Two bats from the same range can still feel different because willow is a natural material.
