 Gunn
& Moore English Willow bats are expertly hand-crafted to produce
the best balance available from a particular cleft of timber.
Most cricketers appreciate that whilst the absolute weight of a
bat is of interest, it is the ‘feel’ or ‘pick-up’
of the bat when playing strokes that is more revealing of its character
and more useful to tune the bat to the player’s technique.
A bat with a ‘light’ pick-up may well suit a ‘touch’
batsman more accustomed to guiding or controlling the ball accurately
in precise directions, whilst a ‘heavier’ pick-up bat
will be appreciated by batsmen more used to the power game.
Gunn & Moore introduce the GM Pick- Up Index, an assessment
made at the factory by the batmaker of the bat’s relative
pick-up. This is a subjective view as to the type of batsman who
may derive maximum performance from the bat, rather like a wine
expert recommending a particular vintage to suit an individual’s
taste.
The Pick-Up Index will prove useful in helping batsmen select a
particular Gunn & Moore bat to further develop and exploit their
technique to very best advantage.
The Gunn & Moore Pick-Up Index is clearly
displayed on all Five Star English Willow bats.
