Bat Review: Gunn & Moore Galaxy 404

"Consistently responsive middle that performed impressively"

RRP: £159, Owzat price: £127.99, Edge: 35mm, Weight: 2lb 9oz

The GM Galaxy 404 delivers presence and power on every surface, built for game-changers who want to stand out at the crease.

Wrapped in a bold, cosmic-inspired livery that GM says signals the future of bat design, the Galaxy 404 makes an immediate visual statement before a ball is even faced.

Built with GM’s traditional L555 blade length and a mid-to-high swell position, it offers a lightweight pick-up combined with immediate impact through the hitting zone.

The balance feels natural in the hands, encouraging confident stroke play without sacrificing control. 

A new metallic-textured grip enhances the overall feel, delivering high-precision traction and added security during long innings.

Testers were highly complementary across the board. Yorkshire batter Adam Lyth, a long-time GM athlete, was particularly enthusiastic, praising both the striking colour scheme and the effortless pick-up.

Other reviewers awarded high marks in all categories, highlighting a consistently responsive middle that performed impressively for both attacking strokes and composed defensive shots.
