The GRAY-NICOLLS GN Vector 950 Play Now English Willow Cricket Bat is engineered for cricketers seeking explosive power combined with an exceptionally light pickup. Crafted from quality English Willow, the Vector features a distinctive profile with a spine extending through to the toe, helping deliver impressive performance across the entire hitting zone. The result is a bat that feels remarkably light in the hands while maintaining outstanding power through every shot.
Featuring a mid profile, slight bow and generous edges, the Vector 950 is designed to suit modern stroke makers who want confidence at the crease. The rounded POWERCURVE face enhances the feel of every stroke, while the Play Now finish means the bat has already been oiled, knocked-in and fitted with an Extratec sheet and toe guard. Part of the all-new Vector range for the 2026/27 Australian cricket season, and endorsed by Marcus Stoinis, Tahlia McGrath and Aaron Hardie.
Bat weights are subject to availability. Pictures are for illustration only. Actual bats may look different because each bat is hand crafted and made from natural willow.
