Made to meet the demands of all-action England phenomenon Ben Stokes, the Diamond is GM’s most dominant bat shape. Its traditional, full blade profile allows leeway for off-centre hits, while an extended swell lends itself to both front- and back-foot play, ideal if you’re the type of batter who likes to go for shots all around the ground. Shifting the focus slightly from the edges to the swell, the new Diamond puts more willow where it really counts, adding extra power to your biggest shots. It now features a traditional blade length and handle length too, complementing the power-focused shape and giving you greater control over drives.
