GM Cannon 404 Cricket Bat (2027)

The GM Cannon 404 Cricket Bat from Gunn & Moore is an English willow bat for attacking batters who like to take the game on from the first ball.

The Cannon range was developed with England's Jacob Bethell, and the 404 carries that fearless approach into a bat built for strokeplay. A traditional L555 blade length is paired with a mid-to-low swell, substantial edges and a flowing spine, giving a balanced feel and an easy pick-up whether you are driving through the field or looking to clear the ropes.

The face has an F4.5 profile with a Powerarc bow, helping to put plenty of power behind the shot, while the Pro-Lite grip, Gunn & Moore's lightest ever, adds comfort and control through the stroke. Each bat is made in England from prime English willow, so it suits the all-round shot maker who wants a bat that stays lively in the hands.

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
