GM Aion 404 Junior Cricket Bat – Size 6
The GM Aion 404 is an English willow junior cricket bat designed for young players who like to get on the front foot and hit the ball hard through the drive zone.
Unlike bats with a more central sweet spot, the Aion carries its power lower in the blade, with large edges and a sweeping spine helping create plenty of hitting power while maintaining a nicely balanced pick-up.
That makes it a particularly good option for developing junior batters who play positively off the front foot and want their first step into a quality English willow cricket bat.
The 404 model is made in England from seasoned Grade 3 English Willow. At this grade you should expect some natural cosmetic markings, knots, stain or speck in the willow — these are normal and allow GM to offer a performance-focused English willow bat at a more affordable price.
Why we like it at The Sport Shop:
The Aion is a great choice for a young cricketer progressing beyond an entry-level bat. The low sweet spot, substantial edges and full blade profile put plenty of wood where a junior batter is likely to want it, while GM’s shaping keeps the bat feeling well balanced.
