🏏 Gray-Nicolls Vector 950 Play Now Adult Cricket Bat
The Gray-Nicolls Vector 950 Play Now Adult Cricket Bat is designed for senior batters who want power across the hitting area without sacrificing pickup or control.
Its mid profile combines a sweeping spine, generous edges and a mid sweet spot, giving players a strong all-round hitting zone. The slight bow and feather-light pickup help the bat move smoothly through the shot, making it suitable for both controlled stroke play and attacking batting.
The rounded POWERCURVE face is designed to enhance the feel of each stroke. The Play Now treatment means the bat has been pressed, oiled and hand knocked-in at its factory of origin, reducing the preparation required before match use.

Choosing a cricket bat comes down to four things: size, weight, willow and how it feels in your hands.
- Size: most adults use a Short Handle bat. For juniors, choose by height, and if they're between sizes, go smaller.
- Weight: pick the heaviest bat you can swing comfortably for a whole innings, not the heaviest you can lift.
- Willow: English willow is lighter and livelier for hard-ball cricket. Kashmir willow is tougher and more affordable, great for a first bat.
- Knocking in: a new English willow bat needs knocking in before you face a leather ball, unless it's sold as Play Now or Match Ready.
