About GM 808 Grade English Willow

• Made from seasoned Grade 2 English Willow, providing a premium level of willow selection within GM's English Willow range.
• Typically selected for a cleaner appearance and stronger grain structure than GM's lower grades, while natural variation between individual bats should be expected.
• Natural colour, markings and grain variations can still occur and do not necessarily indicate how an individual bat will perform.
• Each cleft is individually assessed by GM for characteristics including grain structure, weight, colour and cosmetic markings before being assigned its grade.
• Made in England using GM's extensive bat-making expertise.
