GM Azora Delta 404 Cricket Bat (2027)

The GM Azora Delta 404 Cricket Bat from Gunn & Moore is a lightweight, front-foot focused willow bat for players who want easy pick-up without giving up impact power.

Part of the all-new Azora family, the 404 Delta pairs a bold, imposing profile with a weight-to-feel balance that makes it feel light in the hands. A pronounced low swell and sweeping contours shape the hitting zone to reward confident drives, while the F2 face profile and Powerarc bow are designed to carry performance through the full stroke.

The Delta version uses DXM 2.0 machining, developed to deliver superlight pick-up and accessible power. A Fuze Grip gives a secure, assured connection to the handle, and the whole bat is made in England from Prime English Willow.

If you favour attacking front-foot strokeplay and want a bat that gets to the ball quickly, the Azora Delta 404 is well worth a look.

GM NOW! and ToeTek fitted as standard

GM NOW! means the bat is prepared at the factory before it reaches you:

• Knocked in by GM's own batmakers
• Raw linseed oil applied to hold the moisture level of the blade, which reduces cracking and splitting
• Clear anti-scuff cover fitted to the face and edges to make the blade last longer

ToeTek protects the part of the bat that takes the most punishment:

• DriGuard applied to the toe to resist damp and limit toe swelling
• A specially shaped, resilient shield fitted to the toe
• Cuts down the toe damage and feathering that tapping at the crease often causes
• An extra barrier against damp
