Description

GM Rival DXM 909 Cricket Bat 2026 – Short Handle

The GM Rival DXM 909 Cricket Bat 2026 is a premium Grade 1 English Willow bat designed for serious cricketers who demand an exceptional combination of power, balance, pickup and control.

Featuring GM's traditional L555 blade length, a powerful mid-to-low swell, huge toe depth and sweeping contours, the Rival 909 creates an imposing profile at the crease while retaining the beautifully balanced feel expected from a premium Gunn & Moore bat.

Expertly manufactured in England using GM's advanced DXM precision engineering, the Rival 909 is an outstanding choice for confident all-round stroke-makers looking for premium English Willow performance.

Premium Grade 1 English Willow

At the heart of the Rival DXM 909 is carefully selected Grade 1 English Willow.

The 909 specification sits towards the premium end of GM's grading structure, providing serious players with excellent grain structure, responsiveness and performance.

Each blade is carefully selected and precisely shaped to achieve the combination of weight, balance and playing characteristics expected from a high-level GM cricket bat.

The Rival Profile – Power Meets Balance

The Rival is built around a powerful yet versatile profile designed for the all-round shot-maker.

A mid-to-low swell position concentrates plenty of willow through the middle and lower portions of the blade, creating an excellent power zone for front-foot stroke play.

This makes the Rival particularly effective for players who enjoy driving through the line, attacking straight and taking the aerial option when the opportunity arrives.

Despite the substantial profile, careful shaping and weight distribution help maintain excellent balance, allowing the bat to remain responsive enough for quick hands and controlled stroke play.

Traditional L555 Blade Length

The Rival features GM's traditional L555 blade length, combined with a 295mm Short Handle configuration.

This provides a substantial hitting area while maintaining excellent control and manoeuvrability.

The traditional blade dimensions work beautifully with the Rival's mid-to-low swell, allowing GM to position plenty of willow through the primary hitting area without making the bat feel unnecessarily cumbersome.

Huge Toe Depth

One of the most distinctive characteristics of the Rival profile is its huge toe depth.

The substantial lower blade creates an imposing appearance while putting additional willow into an area increasingly important for modern aggressive batting.

For players who like to attack yorkers, drive hard down the ground or hit through the line, the deep toe profile provides additional confidence through the lower section of the blade.

Sweeping Contours

The Rival's sweeping contours help create its distinctive shape and contribute significantly to the bat's excellent balance.

Rather than simply concentrating on maximum dimensions, GM carefully manages the distribution of willow throughout the blade to create a substantial profile that still picks up beautifully.

The result is a bat that looks powerful at the crease but remains responsive when quick bat speed is required.

F2 Face Profile

The F2 face profile gives the Rival its slightly rounded playing surface, complementing the traditional characteristics of the blade.

This profile works together with the mid-to-low swell and substantial toe to provide a generous hitting area while maintaining excellent feel and control through impact.

Powerarc Bow Face Profile

The Rival also incorporates GM's Powerarc bow face profile.

The carefully engineered bow contributes to the bat's pickup and swing characteristics, helping create a smooth movement through the shot.

Whether you're looking to time the ball into gaps or generate maximum bat speed when attacking, the Powerarc profile contributes to the Rival's versatile playing characteristics.

DXM Precision Engineering

The Rival 909 benefits from Gunn & Moore's advanced DXM manufacturing process.

Using sophisticated 3D CAD design and precision computer-controlled machining, GM can engineer the shape of each bat with exceptional accuracy and consistency.

DXM technology allows important characteristics such as the blade profile, swell position, contours and overall weight distribution to be carefully controlled.

This combination of modern manufacturing technology and traditional English bat-making expertise helps produce the outstanding balance and consistency for which GM bats are renowned.

Premium Apex Grip

The Rival is finished with GM's Apex Grip, providing excellent comfort and traction.

The grip creates a secure connection between the player's hands and the bat, helping maintain control through both defensive strokes and aggressive hitting.

Its comfortable construction also helps reduce hand fatigue during extended periods at the crease.

Made in England

The GM Rival DXM 909 is proudly manufactured by Gunn & Moore in England.

Each bat benefits from GM's generations of cricket bat manufacturing expertise combined with advanced DXM precision engineering.

From willow selection and machining through to handle fitting, finishing and quality control, the Rival 909 is built to meet the demands of serious competitive cricket.

Return & Refund Policy

Wiz Sports – Returns & Refund Policy

At Wiz Sports, we are committed to providing high-quality cricket equipment and excellent customer service. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, we are here to help. Please review the following Returns & Refund Policy carefully.


1. 10-Day Returns, Change of Mind & Incorrect or Faulty Products

At Wiz Sports, we want our customers to shop with confidence. Please carefully review the following terms regarding change-of-mind returns, store credits, exchanges, damaged or incorrectly supplied products, and products that are excluded from our standard change-of-mind return policy.

These terms apply in addition to any rights and remedies you may have under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). Nothing in this policy is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any rights that cannot legally be excluded.

1.1 Change of Mind – No Cash Refunds

Wiz Sports does not provide refunds for change-of-mind purchases.

A change of mind includes circumstances where:

  • You no longer want or need the product.
  • You do not like the product after receiving it.
  • You have changed your preference regarding colour, model, design or other product characteristics.
  • You have ordered the incorrect size or selected the wrong product.
  • You have found the product cheaper elsewhere.
  • You expected something different, but the product supplied is consistent with the description, specifications and images provided on our website.
  • You simply decide that you would prefer not to keep the product.

However, as a customer service gesture, Wiz Sports may accept an eligible change-of-mind return within 10 days of delivery and issue store credit, subject to the conditions below.

1.2 10-Day Store Credit for Eligible Change-of-Mind Returns

If you change your mind about an eligible product, you must contact Wiz Sports within 10 days of receiving your order.

To qualify for store credit, the returned product must:

  • Be completely unused and unworn.
  • Be in its original condition.
  • Have no damage, marks, dirt, odours, alterations or signs of use.
  • Be returned with its original packaging.
  • Have all original tags, labels, manuals, accessories and components attached or included.
  • Be in a condition suitable for resale as a new product.
  • Not fall within one of the excluded product categories outlined below.

Wiz Sports reserves the right to inspect all returned products before approving store credit.

If the returned product does not meet these requirements, we may decline the change-of-mind return.

1.3 Store Credit Amount & Shipping Costs

For an approved change-of-mind return, Wiz Sports will issue store credit rather than a cash refund.

The store credit will be based on the eligible amount paid for the returned product.

Original shipping and delivery costs are not included in change-of-mind store credit.

Where Wiz Sports incurred an actual shipping cost to send the original order, including where discounted or promotional shipping was offered to the customer, the applicable actual shipping cost may be deducted from the store credit where permitted.

The customer is also responsible for the cost of returning a change-of-mind product to Wiz Sports.

We strongly recommend using a tracked shipping service when returning products, as the customer remains responsible for the parcel until it is received by Wiz Sports.

1.4 Size, Colour or Product Exchanges

If you have ordered the wrong size, colour or model and would like to exchange it, please contact us within the applicable return period.

Where the original product is eligible for a change-of-mind return, we may arrange an exchange or provide store credit so you can select another product.

For change-of-mind exchanges, the customer is generally responsible for:

  • The cost of returning the original product; and
  • Any applicable shipping cost for sending the replacement product.

Any difference in price between the original and replacement products will also need to be paid before the replacement is dispatched.

1.5 Damaged, Faulty or Incorrectly Supplied Products

If you receive a product that is damaged, faulty, materially different from its description, or different from the product you ordered, please contact Wiz Sports as soon as possible.

We may ask you to provide photographs, videos or other reasonable information so we can assess the issue.

Where a return is reasonably required for assessment, Wiz Sports may provide a prepaid return shipping label for the product to be returned to us.

Once the product is received, it will be inspected and assessed.

Where appropriate, we may arrange a replacement, repair, refund or other remedy in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law.

If a replacement is the appropriate remedy and the product is available, we can arrange for the correct or replacement product to be sent after the original product has been returned and assessed.

Customers will not be required to pay return shipping costs where Wiz Sports has supplied an incorrect product or where Wiz Sports is responsible for an eligible faulty or damaged product return, subject to applicable consumer law.

1.6 Cricket Bats That Have Been Prepared or Customised

Change-of-mind returns, exchanges and store credits are not available for cricket bats that have been prepared, altered or customised at the customer's request.

This includes, but is not limited to, bats that have undergone:

  • Knocking-in
  • Oiling
  • Extratec or protective sheet application
  • Toe guard installation
  • Grip changes or additional grips
  • Weight reduction
  • Bat preparation or match-ready services
  • Custom modifications
  • Any other preparation or alteration requested by the customer

Once preparation or customisation has commenced, the cricket bat can no longer be treated as a standard unused product and therefore cannot ordinarily be returned simply because the customer has changed their mind.

This exclusion applies specifically to change-of-mind returns and does not remove any rights or remedies that may apply under the Australian Consumer Law if the product or service has a problem covered by the ACL.

1.7 Hygiene & Personal-Use Products

For hygiene and health reasons, certain products may not be accepted for a change-of-mind return or exchange once used, worn, opened or otherwise rendered unsuitable for resale.

This may include certain protective equipment, apparel, compression garments, personal-use accessories and other hygiene-sensitive products.

Where applicable, the product must remain unused, unworn, unopened where relevant, and in its original packaging to be considered for a change-of-mind return.

This hygiene exclusion does not limit any rights a customer may have under the Australian Consumer Law where a product is faulty, defective, incorrectly supplied or otherwise fails to meet a consumer guarantee.

1.8 Inspection of Returned Products

All returned products are subject to inspection by Wiz Sports.

Receiving a returned product does not automatically mean that a return, exchange or store credit has been approved.

We will inspect the product to confirm its condition and whether it meets the applicable return requirements.

For change-of-mind returns, Wiz Sports may decline the return where the product:

  • Has been used or worn.
  • Has been damaged after delivery.
  • Is dirty, marked or has an odour.
  • Is missing packaging, tags or accessories.
  • Has been altered or customised.
  • Is no longer suitable to be sold as new.
  • Falls within an excluded change-of-mind category.

1.9 Australian Consumer Law

Our change-of-mind policy is separate from your statutory rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Where goods have a major or minor failure, are unsafe, are not of acceptable quality, do not match their description or otherwise fail to comply with applicable consumer guarantees, the remedies available will be determined in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law.

In summary: Wiz Sports does not provide cash refunds simply because a customer changes their mind. Eligible unused products may be returned within 10 days for store credit, excluding applicable shipping costs. Faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied products are handled separately in accordance with this policy and the Australian Consumer Law.
