MRF Weapon Cannon Junior Cricket Bat
The MRF Weapon Cannon Junior Cricket Bat – English Willow is designed for young cricketers who want the look, feel and performance of an MRF bat at an accessible price point.
Built with a big profile and generous edges, the Weapon Cannon gives junior players a strong hitting area while still maintaining a balanced pickup. Its mostly full profile with slight concaving helps keep the bat manageable in the hands, making it a good option for developing players who are learning to time the ball and build confidence at the crease.
The mid-to-low sweet spot suits front-foot play, drives and powerful shots through the ground. Combined with a flat face, natural square toe and semi-oval/round handle feel, this bat offers a traditional MRF-style shape for junior cricketers moving into more serious training and match play.

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.
