FAQs

Q: Is the GM BRAVA 404 Cricket Bat suitable for back-foot play?
A: While the GM BRAVA 404 is specifically designed for front-foot dominance with its low swell position, it can still perform adequately for back-foot shots. However, batters who primarily play off the back foot may want to consider alternatives with higher sweet spots.

Q: What type of player would benefit most from the GM BRAVA 404 Cricket Bat?
A: The GM BRAVA 404 is ideal for technically sound batters who prefer driving on the front foot. Its low sweet spot and meaty edges in the driving zone make it particularly suitable for players who enjoy playing straight drives and on-drives with authority.

Q: How does the Grade 4 English willow of the GM BRAVA 404 Cricket Bat affect performance?
A: The Grade 4 English willow offers good performance at a more accessible price point. While not as premium as Grade 1 or 2, this willow still provides reliable performance with proper knocking in. Expect fewer grains and potentially more cosmetic blemishes, but sound structural integrity.

Q: Does the Pro-Lite grip on the GM BRAVA 404 Cricket Bat require replacement soon after purchase?
A: The Pro-Lite grip on the GM BRAVA 404 is GM's lightest grip offering good initial feel and control. While durable for regular use, serious players might consider applying grip cone for additional comfort. The grip should last a full season under normal playing conditions before needing replacement.
