The Size 5 Hurricane is built for juniors who play seriously. Full English willow, a pure cane handle and a balanced pick-up - proper willow performance for cricketers ready to take their game to the next level.

Real English Willow for Serious Junior Cricketers

Full English willow is what separates a cricket bat from a cricket-shaped object. The Size 5 Hurricane uses properly graded English willow blades, professionally pressed to optimise the sweet spot and sealed and polished by hand. Young cricketers get the satisfying feel of clean ping off the middle from the very first net session.

The pure cane handle keeps the pick-up balanced in young hands. Junior cricketers need a bat that responds to their swing rather than fighting against it, and the Hurricane handle is shaped and weighted to give kids that alive, controlled feel that builds confidence at the crease.

Size 5 typically suits cricketers aged 9 to 11 - check our size guide to match the bat to your child's specific height and reach. A generous sweet spot and clean profile help juniors learn how a quality bat should feel and behave.

FAQs

A: Size 5 fits junior cricketers aged 9 to 11, typically between 4’6“ and 4’9” tall. Hurricane is the right choice for juniors at academy or county-pathway level - the higher willow grade gives a noticeable performance edge as competitive bowling speeds increase.
A: If they’re a serious academy or club player at the size 5 age group, yes - the higher willow grade gives a slightly bigger sweet spot and a more responsive feel off the middle. For casual cricket and beginners, the difference is less noticeable than for stronger players.
A: Both grades last well with proper care, but Hurricane’s higher-grade willow tends to retain its responsive feel for longer in heavy use. The lifespan still depends mainly on care - knocking-in, oiling, storage and avoiding cheap practice balls.
