Chase Vortex Player Performance Junior Cricket Bat (2027)

The Chase Vortex Player Performance Junior Cricket Bat is a Grade 2 English willow bat for young players who like to attack the bowling and go big.

Chase has given this junior bat a modern profile with a generous middle and a mid sweet spot, so there is plenty of wood where it counts when the ball is there to be hit. The light pick-up helps juniors get the bat through quickly, with good hand speed for drives, pulls and lofted shots without feeling cumbersome at the crease.

A round handle is standard, and the blade is 20mm shorter than a full-size bat, which keeps the proportions right for growing cricketers moving up from entry-level equipment. It arrives pre-prepared, though a little further knocking in is recommended before it sees match action, so it is worth setting aside time to get the edges and face ready.

For juniors who want a proper English willow bat built around positive, aggressive batting, the Vortex is a strong option from a trusted cricket brand.
