The Gunn & Moore Brava 909 English Willow (EW)is a high-performance cricket bat crafted from unbleached seasoned Grade 1 English Willow, specifically engineered for aggressive front-foot stroke play. It features a traditional full blade profile and a low swell position, which provides maximum power for driving and dominating the crease.
Performance and Blade Design
- Low Swell Position: the bat’s swell is positioned low on the blade to optimize front-foot power play and aggressive hitting.
- F2 Face Profile: Features a groundbreaking flatter face design that ensures huge edges along the entire length of the driving zone for maximum power delivery.
- Power arc Bow: A specialized bow profile that facilitates swift shot execution and provides an explosive blend for aggressive stroke play.
- Full Blade Profile: The traditional profile features colossal edge thickness in the drive zone without significant concaving, resulting in a “lethal” sweet spot.
