Gunn & Moore Maxi Jacob Bethell Players Edition Cricket Bat
The Gunn & Moore Jacob Bethell Players Edition Cricket Bat is built to the exact specifications of one of England's most exciting young batters. Designed for club cricketers, representative players, and emerging high performance athletes, this premium cricket bat delivers the balance, pickup, and power required for modern stroke play.
Handcrafted in England from hand selected Grade 1 English willow, this limited edition GM cricket bat combines elite craftsmanship with striking Maxi graphics for players who want proven performance at the crease.
Designed for the Modern Batter
Jacob Bethell's game is built around positive intent and all round shot making, and this Players Edition reflects that approach. The profile features a substantial 65mm swell and 39mm edges, creating a large sweet spot that helps generate power while maintaining excellent bat speed.
The result is a bat that feels responsive in the hands and performs across a wide range of scoring areas, from front foot drives through to aggressive back foot play. Each bat is individually assessed for grain quality, weight, and overall feel to ensure it meets the standards expected from a Players Edition model.
Premium Performance and Protection
The treble spring handle provides excellent feel through ball impact while helping reduce unwanted vibration. This creates a more comfortable batting experience during long innings and extended training sessions.
ToeTek™ protection and the GM NOW! preparation system help improve durability and reduce the amount of preparation required before use. We still recommend gradual net use before taking the bat into competitive matches.

Frequently Asked Questions
What grade willow is used in the Jacob Bethell Players Edition?
The bat is handcrafted from Players Grade 1 English willow, selected for its performance characteristics, grain structure, and overall quality.
Does the GM Jacob Bethell Players Edition come pre knocked in?
Yes. GM NOW! preparation includes factory knocking in, oiling, edge treatment, and face protection. Players Sports NZ still recommends several net sessions before full match use.
What is DXM Technology?
DXM Technology is GM's advanced manufacturing process that allows precise replication of bat shapes. This ensures greater consistency across models while maintaining the handcrafted quality GM is known for.
This Gunn & Moore bat comes fitted with a facing, GM NOW! and ToeTek™ so you can hit the nets straight away skipping the knock in process if you like.
GM NOW!
-
“Knocked-in” by the Gunn & Moore bat makers in Nottingham. Raw linseed oil has been applied to reduce cracking and splitting by maintaining the moisture level of the blade, with a clear bat facing also applied to the face and edges to increase blade durability.
TOETEK ™
-
DriGuard applied to resist dampness and minimise toe swelling. A specially shaped resilient toe shield has also been fitted to toe of bat. This helps reduces toe damage and feathering that is often caused by tapping at the crease. We recommend avoiding tapping your bat at the crease, or only doing so softly.
