More about GM Noir Bats

The GM Noir is designed for all-round cricketers who value balance as much as power. It suits players who build innings through timing and placement, while still needing reliable hitting options on demand. The range covers multiple English willow grades, making it suitable for committed club players through to advanced competitive cricketers.

1. What are the GM Noir cricket bats?

GM Noir cricket bats are all-round English willow bats designed for balanced strokeplay across both the front and back foot. They suit players who rely on timing, placement and controlled shot selection, while still offering the power needed to accelerate when the match situation demands it.
The mid-to-low swell L555 profile, partially concave back and broad F4.5 face create a stable feel through impact and a consistent hitting area across the blade. This balanced construction makes the Noir a versatile choice for club and competitive players across different match situations and playing conditions.

2. The Noir cricket bat range at Gunn and Moore

- Professional and advanced players: The GM Noir L555 DXM range in Original L.E., Original, Signature, and 909 grades uses Prime Grade English Willow, trusted by professional players including Dan Lawrence, Olly Stone, and Dwaine Pretorius. These bats are chosen for grain consistency and response at impact, suited to players competing at higher club or representative levels.
- Club and intermediate players: The Noir 808, 606, and 404 Delta SH models retain the same blade geometry and construction profile. The difference lies in willow grading, which affects natural responsiveness and visual grain structure while keeping the playing shape consistent.
These models are designed for club and league cricket, where durability, balance, and dependable performance are key considerations. Available exclusively in Short Handle (SH) size, they are intended for adult players seeking a full-size bat for regular match play.

3. FAQs

a. What type of player is the GM Noir designed for?
The GM Noir is designed for players seeking a balance of power, control, and pick-up. Its mid-to-low swell profile suits a wide range of stroke play, making it a versatile choice for club and league cricketers.

b. What do the Noir Delta grades mean?
The Delta grades (808, 606, 404) refer to willow selection. Higher grades typically offer more refined grain structure and responsiveness. The core bat shape and construction remain the same across all Delta models.

c. What is the partially concave back profile?
It is a controlled reduction of wood behind the blade to improve pick-up without reducing edge thickness. This helps maintain power while improving manoeuvrability through the swing.

d. Does the GM Noir need knocking in?
GM cricket bats feature GM NOW! preparation, which includes knocking-in, oiling and a clear protective face. We do, however, suggest a ‘playing in’ period where the bat is used against old balls in the nets before being taken into a match.
