@Mr1indiacricket it feels really light surprisingly for its size im only 140lbs and its not heavy for me infact it feels lighter than my 2.8 bat, it has a great balance and pick up i would recommend it definately if you've got the money to spend, around £330

also from same forum . . .
As for the sweetspot, GM says the Icon is higher but comparing them side by side shows that the Flare's sweetspot is a tad higher and not quite as long as the Icon's.
I hope this helps with your decision
Regards

From a discussion forum . . .
Took delivery of a GM Flare today for a friend of mine and I must say I'm VERY impressed. I figured, being a GM it would have a good balance but I didn't expect it to be better than my Icon. As it turns out, both bats are the same weight and the Flare with it's higher sweetspot picks up beautifully.

No problem, the only reason I wont get that is because they are very heavy bats. I want a bat thats about 2.10 at the most. Does it feel lighter then it actually is?

@Mr1indiacricket i realised that after typing my mistake sorry i have got a flare original + it is amazing has a massive sweet spot .. im 15 and ive hit quite a few 6's, ive retired everytime since getting this bat. its amazing

Hi, my GM icon should be arriving in a few days (a day before a game) i was wondering if i could go straight into using it or should i wait?

@mrwhiteymagic If it has the GM now label, it has been “Knocked-in” by the batmaker in-house. Saying that I'd follow this advice: The face, especially the front edges, will be further improved and its useful life prolonged by careful 'knocking-in' with an old leather cricket ball. Take great care when knocking in the edges and toe as hitting too hard may crack the willow - take your time and be patient!

@mrwhiteymagic The blade should be knocked in on the face of the bat including the edge of the face but not on the sides of the blade, the underneath of the toe or back of the blade. After knocking-in, the bat should be used to hit short catches and/or "throw-downs" with an old, good quality cricket ball. It is advisable to initially avoid use against a new ball in either nets or a match.
