GM Cannon Limited Edition Cricket Bat (2027)

The Gunn & Moore Cannon Limited Edition cricket bat is a power-packed English willow bat for attacking batters who like to take the bowling on from the first ball.

Designed in conjunction with England's Jacob Bethell, the Cannon is part of the JB82 range and is built for players who want to play on the front foot and score quickly. A traditional L555 blade length is paired with a mid-to-low swell position, giving an all-round shot maker plenty of control whether driving through the field or looking to clear the ropes. Substantial edges and a flowing spine are there to help drive explosive power through the stroke, while the balanced feel makes for an effortless pick-up.

The Powerarc bow face profile and F4.5 face profile add to the dynamic character of the blade, and the Pro-Lite grip, GM's lightest ever, keeps things comfortable and controlled through a long innings. Every Cannon is made in England from prime English willow, so this Limited Edition model is a strong choice for ambitious batters who want a bat that matches an aggressive style of play.

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
