FAQs

What size cricket bat should I choose?

Gunn and Moore offers cricket bars in a range of sizes from Junior (Size 1 – Harrow) to full size bats for adults. The right size depends on the players height and age. Check our GM Bat Size Guide to find the perfect fit for your game.

What is the difference between GM’s English Willow and Kashmir Willow bats?

English Willow bats, like those in the GM Original and Diamond ranges, are made from premium willow grown in England and offer superior performance and feel. Kashmir Willow bats are more affordable and durable, ideal for beginners or recreational use.

Do GM bats come pre-knocked in?

Yes, all Gunn and Moore English Willow bats are factory prepared with GM NOW! Technology, including knocking-in, oiling, and a clear protective face. However, we still recommend a few additional net sessions before match use.

How do I care for my GM cricket bat?

To prolong the life of your bat, avoid using it with damp balls, store it in a dry place, and inspect it regularly for surface cracks. You can also apply linseed oil and use a toe guard for added protection – though many GM bats already include this.

What makes Gunn and Moore bats different from other brands?
