GM Sparq Signature DXM TTNOW L540 English Willow Cricket Bat - SH Specifications
Size
|
Short Handle size with L540 Blade Length to help increase the bat speed through the strokes and lighten the pick up. - Ideal for players 175cm (5ft 9in) to 188cm (6ft 2in) in Height.
|
Willow
|
Comes in GM's Signature Grade which is akin to Grade 2 English Willow. Great quality willow, can come with some specks or wobbles purely aesthetic in the main playing area with minimal to no affect on performance.
|
Handle
|
Medium to thick SEMI-OVAL Handle tapering to Round at the top. Constructed in top quality 4 piece Singapore Cane with 3 cork insert handle making for top quality power transfer into the ball and a premium feel in the hands. Fitted with GM's Pro-Lite grip, the lightest grip GM have ever made, which strikes the balance between grip and feel
|
Profile
|
The L540 blade length combined with the sizeable offset edges provide a large dynamic sweetspot and increased power to balance ratio. The mid swell position and beautiful bow serve to balance the bat and the concaving through the back of the profile means the pick-up is maximised. With a sweeping spine blending into the toe, the Sparq has been engineered for controlled stoke play which will help you light up the crease. Ideal profile for top order batters that relies on their timing wanting to play the ball on the up or off the backfoot maximizing power in precision stroke play.
|
Edges/Spine
|
Comes with a high spine and big offset edge for a dynamic disbursement of power and weight and superior light pick up.
|
|
|
Mid-High Middle ideal for front foot play on the up and for all back foot play.
|
Slight concaving for a lighter more balanced pick up. Ideal for the batter who relies on their timing and precision.
|
|
|
The pick up on the GM Spaq comes in usually the mid-light weight range. Due to the master shaping and mid to high profile the Sparq picks up lighter then the scale weight.
|
Gomes in what GM are calling their POWER ARC BOW FACE which is a standard level of bow which gets the bat just a tad early onto the ball. Which creates a better angle for the ball bouncing off the bat onto the grass helping it to race further. Optimizing value for your shots.
|
|
|
GM's F4.5 Face Profile meaning it's a 4.5 mm camber (face roundness), quiet round for the modern bat. This helps to maximize the peak of the hitting zone and also helping with the durability of the bat with the round nature allowing the energy from the ball to be disbursed more evenly upon impact.
|
A semi square toe providing extra durability and strength against Yorkers of a rounded toe but keeping the effect of a perceived wider bat that you get with squarer toes giving the player more confidence when looking down on his bat.

AT SPORTS RECOMMENDS
In order to get the best our of your bat and avoid nullifying your cricket bat warranty AT Sports recommends the following
1. Prepare the bat properly with Knocking and Oiling either done by a professional or by AT SPORTS.
2. Used in the nets in at least ten, 20-30 min practice sessions before in game use, gradually increasing intensity starting from gentle use and soft old cricket balls.
2. After Prep a quality form of face protection is used to protect the main playing area and avoid outside substances damaging the main playing area as much as possible and to change this sheet every 6 months.
3. A quality form of toe protection is used to avoid any outside substances (eg moisture) from affecting the toe and compromising the integrity of the bat.
4. Stored in a dry and moderate temperature room.
5. Using only quality cricket balls, we'd only recommend Kookaburra Cricket balls and hard rubber bowling machine balls.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
- A cricket bat is NOT going to look new forever & cracks will appear on the willow.
- The lifespan of a bat depends on the amount of use & the care taken for your bat (keep out of excessively warm conditions & wet weather) + We recommend that a toe guard/shoe goo should be fitted for extra protection against toe damage.
- AT Sports needs to see the product to arrange the correct course of action following a warranty claim.
- Currently there is no standard remedy for a warranty claim and the course of action depends on the circumstances. A course of action may include repair, replacement, refund or having the service performed again. Warranty assessments and decisions are at the discretion of the manufacturer.
