The GM Flare 606 English Willow Cricket Bat is built for players who value timing, rhythm and effortless stroke play. Refined for the 2025/26 season, the Flare offers a smooth, responsive feel with a mid-to-low swell and finely tuned pickup that supports touch players and instinctive shot-makers. Sculpted shaping throughout the blade enhances balance, giving the bat a lively feel from straight drives to flicks off the pads.
Finished with GM’s updated white Fuze grip, the 606 retains the clean, modern aesthetic introduced for the Flare 2026 range. Crafted from Grade 3 English Willow, it delivers dependable performance for club cricketers wanting a bat that rewards soft hands and natural flow at the crease. With a traditional L555 blade length, F2 face profile and semi-oval handle, the Flare 606 offers a confident, free-flowing batting experience.
Bat weights and grains are subject to availability. Actual bats may look different because each bat is crafted from natural willow.
