Profile

The Kryos L540 DXM is a bat with a full profile and mid swell position. The spine sweeps through the swell, before flattening out into a 'duck billed' toe which enhances the pick-up and balance of the blade. The toe profile coupled with the mid swell position enables the batter to manoeuvre the Kryos whilst manoeuvring the field! The Kryos comes complete with ice cold iridescent labels.
|
Edges/Spine
|
Comes with a big edge and medium spine height to help disburse the power wider into the face to get more wood/power behind the ball even on miss timed strokes.
|
|
|
|
Mid middle perfect for aggressive stroke play on the front foot and back foot for the aggressive quick hands to get through the ball.
|
Very Full profile, almost convex/domed in shape. Disbursing the power zone for a bigger sweet spot.
|
|
|
|
The pick up on the GM Kryos although comes in usually the mid weight range. Due to the master shaping of the profile the Kryos picks up lighter then the scale weight.
|
Gomes in what GM are calling their POWER ARC BOW FACE which is a standard level of bow which gets the bat just a tad early onto the ball. Which creates a better angle for the ball bouncing off the bat onto the grass helping it to race further, optimizing value for your shots.
|
|
|
|
GM's F4.5 Face Profile meaning it's a 4.5 mm camber (face roundness), quiet round for the modern bat. This helps to maximize the peak of the hitting zone and also helping with the durability of the bat with the round nature allowing the energy from the ball to be disbursed more evenly upon impact.
|
A semi square toe providing extra durability and strength against Yorkers of a rounded toe but keeping the effect of a perceived wider bat that you get with squarer toes giving the player more confidence when looking down on his bat.
