Technologies: GM TOETEK, GM Now! and GM DriGuard

GM DriGuard

DriGuard is a treatment applied to the toe of GM cricket bats to reduce water absorption and prevent toe swelling, making the toe less susceptible to moisture-induced damage. It helps repel oil and moisture; any oil applied to this area should be wiped off.

GM NOW!

GM Now! is a product from GM that serves as an anti-scuff cover for GM English Willow Cricket Bats. The cover creates a barrier against moisture and helps to hold the bat's blade together in case of any minor cracks that may appear due to use. The cover should not be removed until it shows significant wear and can only be removed by a bat specialist.

GM TOETEK

TOETEK™ is a specially shaped resilient shield fitted to the toe of the GM English Willow Cricket Bat, which reduces toe damage and feathering that often results from tapping at the crease. It also acts as an additional barrier to dampness.

What is GM DXM Technology?

GM DXM technology is a holistic approach to cricket bat manufacturing that ensures high-quality and consistent performance. The technology is based on five years of research involving computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to produce perfect prototypes and blades. Before selecting the cleft for a bat, technological input is used to ensure that the cleft is suitable for the intended bat.

The process also includes highly impressive wood conditioning and quantum improvements in the pressing process. All these measures ensure that the finished GM cricket bats are of the highest quality, with excellent consistency, stability, weight, and finishing, making them highly prized by cricketers worldwide.
