To play like Ben Stokes is to play without fear. To look into the bowlers eyes and know full well that by the time he looks up to see if it’s a good ball, it’s already racing towards the boundary. It’s the Ben Stokes way.
Perhaps up until now, you’ve been wondering how you can incorporate his fearlessness into your game. Fear not, for GM has four solutions for you.
The first solution is the Phase 1 Ben Stokes Player Edition bat,complete with his engraved signature strikes fear into the opposition for you. The opposition know that as you stroll out to the middle, you mean business. They’re going to have to get you out, you won’t be getting yourself out. Not anymore.
Only 55 of Ben’s Launch Specification Player Edition Zelos bats will be made. Each is crafted from a very select piece of limited availability LE grade English Willow. The bat is then finished with prestige laser engraved signature and Limited Edition identification number and delivered to you in an embroidered full length cover.
