MRF English Willow Bats
MRF Genius Grand
The flagship model of the Genius series, featuring Grade 1 or Grade 2 English willow with full profile — thick edges, pronounced spine, and high sweet spot. Ideal for pull shots, drives, and cuts. Best for advanced club players, state-level, and professional cricketers. Price range: ₹8,000–₹18,000.
MRF Chase Master
A classically profiled bat with balanced pickup designed for batters who prefer to play through the line of the ball. The mid sweet spot gives excellent timing on drives and flicks. One of the most technically satisfying MRF bat models. Price range: ₹6,000–₹12,000.
MRF Grand Edition Junior
Transitioning from Kashmir willow to English willow? The MRF Grand Edition Junior has a lighter profile and shorter blade length designed for junior players aged 10–16. Price range: ₹2,500–₹5,000.
MRF Kashmir Willow Bats
MRF Titan Player Edition
The standout performer in MRF's Kashmir willow range. Thick profile with a high mid-blade swell that gives pickup weight and power feel much closer to English willow — one of the best-selling MRF KW cricket bats for beginners serious about improving. Price range: ₹1,500–₹3,000.
MRF Champion and Prodigy
Entry-level Kashmir willow bats ideal for school cricket and turf practice. The Prodigy suits younger players aged 12–16. Price range: ₹800–₹1,800.
MRF Cricket Bat Buying Guide
• Beginner or school cricket → MRF Champion or Titan (Kashmir willow)
• Club or intermediate → MRF Chase Master (English willow)
• Competitive or advanced → MRF Genius Grand
MRF bats are known for slightly heavier pickup due to their full profile. Try lifting the bat and playing an imaginary forward defensive — if you are straining at the wrists, the bat is too heavy. Browse all MRF cricket bats at SportsGear24x7.
MRF Bat Care Instructions
• Knock in with a wooden mallet for a minimum of 4 hours before match use
• Apply linseed oil lightly on face and edges — never on the toe
• Use an anti-scuff sheet or bat facing tape for the first two months of play
• Store in a bat cover away from moisture and direct sunlight
