Kookaburra Prism Pro 1.0 Junior Cricket Bat
The Kookaburra Prism Pro 1.0 Junior Cricket Bat is a high grade English willow cricket bat for junior players who want a quality bat with a versatile shape for scoring off both the front and back foot. Made from Pro 1.0 Grade unbleached English willow, it combines quality willow with a mid to high profile designed for an all round stroke game.
The mid to high profile positions more of the bat's shape further up the blade than a low profile design. For a developing junior batter, this provides a versatile shape for moving forward to drive as well as transferring onto the back foot to cut and pull.
