    Gunn & Moore Brava 808 Cricket Bat

    Strike fear into opposition bowlers with the Gunn & Moore Brava 808 Cricket Bat in Navy/Gold, a powerful bat designed for dominant, front-foot play.

    Equipped with GM’s F2 flatter face, the Brava boasts big edges along the length of the drive area, giving you access to huge power as you step forward for any type of aggressive shot.

    The lower swell and Powerarc bow profile are ideal for smacking sixes straight down the ground, while the lightweight Pro-Lite grip keeps you in control.

    Navy and gold stickers add a touch of class to this otherwise brutal bat.

    808
    Superior unbleached seasoned Grade 2 English Willow
    Minor blemishes and some colour on one edge
    Fitted with good quality treble spring multi-piece cane handle for outstanding feel, flex and control
    GM NOW! and ToeTek™ finish fitted as standard

    Gunn & Moore

    One of the world’s oldest and most respected cricket brands, Gunn & Moore have been at the forefront of bat design since 1885.

    That was the year Nottingham-born England batter William Gunn partnered with local businessman Thomas James Moore to form GM, and so began a mission to create the best cricket bats ever seen.

    Known for his scientific approach to batting at the crease, Gunn applied the same philosophy to batmaking, recruiting skilful crafters to create his vision of the perfect bat by way of painstaking processes.

    Fast-forward a century, and that idea holds true today: while GM still use expert crafters to check and finish their bats, the initial shaping of the wood is performed by machine.

    Custom-engineered specifically for making bats, the five-axis cutters at GM’s Nottingham factory use computer-aided manufacturing to produce blades with absolute precision. So, when you order a GM bat, you already know exactly what you’re getting. And the next time, and the next time.

    Gunn & Moore’s bats have been used by greats of the game throughout their history, all the way through to modern-day England hero Ben Stokes, who uses the Diamond to devastating effect. And thanks to their DXM manufacturing processes, you can have exactly the same profile as Stokes if you so desire. “Play with the best” is the GM strapline – why wouldn’t you?

    Grade 2

    High-quality willow that often performs as well as Grade One but isn’t quite as cosmetically clean. Grade Two bats usually feature at least six visible grains on the face with perhaps the odd knot or blemish. Compared to Grade One, they may feature a larger amount of red wood towards the edge of the blade. The best “butterfly” blades, which use willow with a naturally occurring butterfly-shaped stain, are also typically classified as Grade Two.

    Please note that these are typical characteristics. While we work closely with our partner brands to provide the best bats for you, we are unable to guarantee a specific number of grains or the overall appearance of the willow on individual bats.
