GM Cannon Original Junior Cricket Bat (2027)

The GM Cannon Original Junior Cricket Bat from Gunn & Moore is a junior cricket bat for young attacking batters who like to take the game on from the first ball.

Created in conjunction with England batter Jacob Bethell as part of the JB82 range, the Cannon Original is built for players who want to play with freedom and intent. A powerful profile is paired with an easy pick-up, so young batters can feel in control while still getting plenty of punch through the stroke. A mid-to-low swell position, substantial edges and a flowing spine give it a balanced, dynamic feel, whether the aim is driving through the field or clearing the ropes.

The pro-lite grip, the lightest Gunn & Moore has made, adds comfort and control. Every bat is made in England from prime English willow, so it's a smart pick for juniors who want a serious bat to grow their game with.

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
