The Gray-Nicolls Havoc HB317 is built around an aggressive, modern shape, and this GN330+ junior bat brings that profile to younger players in Harrow size. A mid blade with an exaggerated spine and a mid-to-high balance point give a large hitting zone with a light, manageable pick-up.
Key Features
- Even - Mid bow — a balanced shape that suits both attacking strokes and controlled defence.
- Mid blade with exaggerated spine — profiled to enhance pick-up and give a large hitting zone.
- Powercurve semi-rounded face — increased profile for optimum ping off the bat.
- Mid to high balance point — creates a feather-light pick-up.
- Offset edge profile — enhances swell and increases the size of the sweet spot.
- Semi square toe and semi oval handle — a traditional, comfortable set-up at the crease.
- TRACTION grip — Gray-Nicolls' lightweight, high-performance grip.
Performance Overview
The HB317 shape is designed to reward positive strokeplay. The exaggerated spine and offset edges push the swell forward, so the perceived sweet spot is generous and off-centre contact still carries. Combined with the mid-to-high balance point, the bat picks up lightly enough for a junior to swing freely through the line without losing control on the defensive stroke.
Benefits
A Harrow-size bat with a senior-style profile, giving a developing player a genuine step up from a basic junior bat while keeping the pick-up light enough to play properly.
