Description
GM Diamond 606 BS55 Cricket Bat 2026 β Short Handle
The Ben Stokes Bat. BS55 β The Ben Stokes Range.
Crafted for the Uncompromising
The GM Diamond 606 BS55 Cricket Bat 2026 brings the unmistakable profile and styling of Ben Stokes' signature Diamond range into an outstanding performance specification for serious club and competitive cricketers.
Developed in conjunction with Ben Stokes, the 2026 Diamond combines a beautifully balanced mid-swell profile, traditional full blade shape and GM's proven English bat-making expertise. Finished with refreshed 2026 graphics inspired by Stokes' distinctive tattoo design, the Diamond is built for players who demand power, balance and control every time they walk to the crease.
For 2026, the Diamond returns to GM's traditional L555 blade length, giving the bat a substantial hitting area while retaining the excellent pickup required for modern all-round stroke play.
BS55 β The Ben Stokes Range
The Diamond has become synonymous with the aggressive, uncompromising style of Ben Stokes.
Whether counterattacking under pressure, building an innings or looking to change the course of a match, Stokes' game demands equipment capable of adapting to every situation.
The Diamond BS55 profile reflects that versatility.
Rather than concentrating the hitting zone too high or too low, the Diamond uses a balanced mid-swell position, making it an excellent choice for players who want to score all around the ground.
Traditional L555 Blade Length
For the 2026 season, the Diamond features GM's traditional L555 blade length, paired with a 295mm handle.
This configuration creates an excellent balance between blade size, reach and manoeuvrability.
The substantial blade provides plenty of hitting area while the carefully considered weight distribution ensures the bat remains responsive in the hands.
Mid Swell β Designed for All-Round Stroke Play
At the heart of the Diamond is its versatile mid-swell position.
The centrally positioned power zone makes the Diamond equally comfortable for front-foot and back-foot batting, allowing players to confidently access all areas of the ground.
Whether you're driving through the covers, punching through the off side, pulling through mid-wicket or taking the aerial option, the Diamond provides a beautifully positioned hitting zone for complete stroke play.
Traditional Full Blade Profile
The Diamond features a traditional full blade profile, maintaining plenty of willow throughout the main hitting area.
This gives the bat a substantial, powerful appearance while providing the solid feel players want when striking the ball.
Rather than excessively removing willow from the back of the blade, the Diamond retains its traditional character, helping maximise the amount of wood positioned behind the ball.
Flowing Contoured Spine
A distinctive flowing contoured spine runs through the Diamond profile.
This carefully engineered shape helps distribute the bat's mass efficiently throughout the blade, contributing to the excellent balance and pickup associated with the Diamond.
The combination of the contoured spine, full blade and mid swell creates a profile that feels substantial through impact without becoming unnecessarily cumbersome in the hands.
F4.5 Face Profile
The F4.5 face profile complements the Diamond's traditional full shape.
Working alongside the centrally positioned swell and flowing spine, the F4.5 face contributes to a generous hitting area and provides the modern performance characteristics serious cricketers expect from GM.
Powerarc Bow Face Profile
The Diamond also incorporates GM's Powerarc bow face profile.
The carefully shaped bow works together with the mid swell and traditional full blade to create an excellent combination of balance, pickup and hitting power.
This versatility is one of the key reasons the Diamond is such an attractive option for complete all-round stroke-makers.
English Willow Performance
The GM Diamond 606 2026 is manufactured from carefully selected English Willow, providing an excellent combination of performance, durability and value.
The 606 specification allows serious club and competitive cricketers to experience the distinctive Ben Stokes Diamond profile at a more accessible price point than the premium Original and Limited Edition specifications.
Each blade benefits from GM's extensive experience in English Willow selection, precision machining and traditional bat-making craftsmanship.
New GM Halo Grip
The 2026 Diamond features the GM Halo Grip, the same style of grip associated with Ben Stokes.
Designed to provide excellent traction and a secure connection between the player's hands and the bat, the Halo Grip helps maintain control through both conventional stroke play and aggressive hitting.
The premium grip also complements the refreshed Diamond graphics, completing the distinctive BS55 appearance.
Made in England
The GM Diamond 606 BS55 2026 is proudly manufactured by Gunn & Moore in England.
GM combines generations of English bat-making expertise with advanced precision manufacturing to achieve consistent profiles, excellent balance and dependable performance.
From willow selection and machining through to handle fitting and finishing, the Diamond 606 benefits from the craftsmanship associated with one of cricket's most established bat manufacturers.

Who Is the GM Diamond 606 For?
The GM Diamond 606 2026 is designed for the all-round batter who wants a versatile profile capable of adapting to virtually any situation at the crease.
The mid swell provides a centrally positioned power zone for players who score off both the front and back foot, while the traditional full profile puts plenty of willow behind the ball when it's time to attack.
Its balanced construction makes the Diamond equally suitable for players looking to occupy the crease for long periods and aggressive stroke-makers who rely on quick hands and confident boundary hitting.
For players wanting the Ben Stokes-inspired Diamond profile, English Willow construction and trusted GM craftsmanship at an excellent performance level, the Diamond 606 BS55 2026 is a standout choice.

Wiz Sports β 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.

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.

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.

MRF cricket bat
Great bat so far. Just as advertised. Never bought bat online before so was a bit nervous but itβs all good. Was sent quickly but unfortunately Wiz were let down by their couriers (couriersplease). The bat sat in their depot for a week. I eventually drove there and picked it up myself. So yeah, Wiz was great, I look forward to visiting their shop when Iβm in Melbourne next.

I previously had a masuri helmet from 2015 which was top of the range, i decided to go with the shrey and the weight difference is unreal, the masuri came in at 1.1kg and the shrey came in at 800g noticeable difference and a better fit to my head.
