Our Rookie Junior Bats offer exceptional value for money and are crafted to the same high standards as our adult bats. Featuring consistently large edges, light pickups, and a mid-low swell with a duckbill toe, these bats are shaped specifically for UK pitches. The design ensures more wood low down the blade for power, and an enhanced pickup thanks to the duckbill toe.
About the Willow
We don’t grade our junior clefts traditionally, but they generally fall between Grade 3 and Grade 5 English Willow. This means you might see tight grains with heartwood or wider grains with visual blemishes — but all our Rookie bats are hand-selected for performance, not looks. Each one offers a powerful ping and solid feel.
