- GM NOW! Knocked-in by the batmaker in-house; DriGuard applied to resist damp and minimise toe swelling; raw linseed oil applied to reduce cracking and splitting by maintaining the moisture level of the blade; clear anti-scuff cover applied to the face and edges to increase blade durability

- TOETEK! Specially shaped resilient shield fitted to the toe of the bat; Reduces toe damage and feathering that is often caused by tapping at the crease

Our new DXM process implements the findings of a 5 year research programme into bat materials and manufacturing technology. Substantial investment in research, expert advice and machinery means:
- superior wood conditioning improves the stability and consistency of willow pre-production
- a new paperless design process using state of the art CAD (Computer Aided Design)
- quantum improvements to the vital pressing operation
- blade crafting by advanced CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing)

All GM English Willow bats are produced by their own craftsmen in their own factory in Nottingham, England using these industry-leading techniques.
