GM Cannon 909 Cricket Bat (2027)

The GM Cannon 909 Cricket Bat from Gunn & Moore is a cricket bat for aggressive, all-round stroke makers who like to take the attack to the bowler from the first ball.

The Cannon range was developed with England batter Jacob Bethell, and the 909 carries that attacking character into its design. A powerful profile sits alongside an easy pick-up, so the bat feels lively in the hands and ready to go whether you are driving through the field or looking to clear the ropes. Substantial edges and a flowing spine are shaped to help deliver power through the stroke, while the mid-to-low swell suits the batter who wants to play the full range of shots.

The traditional L555 blade length keeps things familiar, and the Pro-Lite grip, the lightest Gunn & Moore has made, adds comfort and control as you play your shots. Every Cannon is made in England from prime English willow, so this is a bat with real heritage behind it.

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
