The shape of the GEM 1.1 is designed for power play, with a large hitting zone and mid swell counteracted by a duckbilled toe which ensure a feather-light pick-up. The size of the GEM bat is crucial in how it differs from other bats. We’ve made the blade slightly shorter, the bat fractionally narrower and engineered a super short handle, all contributing to a bat that is easier to wield, has greater speed and that batters will find more responsive than before.
