FAQs

1. Does the Radon Junior need knocking in before use? 

No. The factory-fitted polycarbonate cover and fully seasoned Grade 4 willow mean the Radon Junior is ready to play straight from the bag; no preparation is needed before first use with a hard ball.

2. What does Grade 4 English Willow mean? 

Grade 4 English Willow sits at the entry level of GM’s English willow range, offering consistent performance suitable for beginner and junior club cricket. It provides reliable playability but uses less selective willow compared to higher grades, resulting in a more basic grain structure and a lower overall performance ceiling.

3. Why is the Radon Junior available in size 1 when other junior bats only go to size 2 or 3? 

The Radon Junior is GM's widest-coverage junior bat, designed to serve the full junior age range from very young beginners upward. The size 1 option makes it accessible to the youngest children entering structured cricket for the first time.
