Gunn & Moore Maxi Original Cricket Bat (2026)

Full Description

GM Maxi Original L540 Cricket Bat

The Maxi is made for hitters who clear the rope – and don’t bother watching it land.
After dominating the game in a previous era, the Maxi returns for 2026 – re-engineered for the modern power player, but with the same boundary-busting DNA that made it a legend.
Every inch of the Maxi is designed for domination. A bold, imposing profile, paired with a low swell and massive edges, gives clean strikers the license to go big – and then go again.
This isn’t a bat for the cautious. It’s for players who impose themselves on the game and shape its outcome from ball one.
Confidence built in. Restraint left out.
The 2026 version arrives with an all-new livery – stripped back, bold, and unapologetically aggressive, just like the bat itself.
Cut to the classic L555 blade length, the 2026 Maxi features a pronounced low swell, thick toe, and an intimidating presence in the hand – the perfect weapon for big-hitting, front-foot-dominant players.

There is also the lightweight Delta option, specifically designed for players who love a light pick up, or for players who are growing and benefit from a full size bat without the weight that can go alongside
