The GUNN & MOORE Diamond 606 English Willow Cricket Bat brings the signature BS55 Ben Stokes Range to junior cricketers. Made in conjunction with Ben Stokes and refreshed for the 2026/27 season, the Diamond features updated livery inspired by his distinctive tattoo design. Made in England from GM 606 Grade English Willow, its balanced mid swell, traditional full blade profile and flowing contoured spine create a versatile shape ideally suited to developing all-round stroke-makers.
The F4.5 face profile and Powerarc bow work with GM's Face Dynamics expertise to optimise the Diamond's hitting characteristics, while the new Halo Grip, as used by Ben Stokes, provides secure traction and control. Like all GM English Willow bats, the junior Diamond 606 receives GM NOW! factory preparation and ToeTek DriGuard protection, meaning it arrives ready to play.
Bat weights and grains are subject to availability. Actual bats may look different because each bat is crafted from natural willow.
