and control required for junior cricket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped in conjunction with \u003cstrong\u003eBen Stokes\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Diamond combines a balanced \u003cstrong\u003emid-swell hitting zone\u003c\/strong\u003e, flowing contoured spine, \u003cstrong\u003eF4.5 face profile\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePowerarc bow\u003c\/strong\u003e to create a versatile bat for developing all-round stroke-makers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in England by \u003cstrong\u003eGunn \u0026amp; Moore\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Diamond 404 Junior

point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBS55 – The Ben Stokes Range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Diamond has become one of the most recognisable bats within the GM collection, with the \u003cstrong\u003eBS55 range\u003c\/strong\u003e associated with England star Ben Stokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Diamond profile reflects the versatility required by a modern all-round batter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than being designed exclusively around front-foot or back-foot cricket, its balanced hitting zone provides young players with the freedom to develop a complete range of shots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distinctive \u003cstrong\u003e2026 BS55 graphics\u003c\/strong\u003e take inspiration from Stokes' personal styling, giving junior cricketers the same premium Diamond appearance found throughout the senior range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEnglish Willow Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGM Diamond BS55 404 Junior\u003c\/strong\u003e is manufactured from carefully selected \u003cstrong\u003eEnglish Willow\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 404 specification provides an accessible entry into GM's English Willow range, making it particularly attractive to developing players moving beyond beginner-level bats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor juniors playing regular club, school or representative cricket, the Diamond 404 offers an excellent combination of \u003cstrong\u003eEnglish Willow performance, value and trusted GM manufacturing\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs English Willow is a natural material, individual bats may vary in grain structure, colour and cosmetic appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eJunior-Specific Sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Diamond 404 Junior is available in three sizes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize 5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize 6\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarrow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach size provides dimensions and weight distribution appropriate for different stages of junior development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the correct size bat is particularly important for young players, as an oversized or excessively heavy blade can affect technique, timing and bat speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe appropriately sized Diamond Junior helps developing cricketers maintain better control while learning to generate power through correct technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBalanced Mid-Swell\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the biggest strengths of the Diamond profile is its \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced mid-swell hitting zone\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePositioning the main power area centrally through the blade makes the Diamond an excellent all-round option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoung players can confidently develop front-foot drives, back-foot punches, cuts, pulls and attacking straight shots without being restricted by an excessively high or low sweet spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis versatility makes the Diamond particularly suitable for developing junior cricketers who are still building a complete batting game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for All-Round Stroke Play\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Diamond isn't designed around one specific type of batter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts balanced construction makes it suitable for players who want to score around the entire ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor junior cricketers, this is particularly valuable because it encourages the development of a broad range of shots rather than relying on a single strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether defending against good bowling, rotating the strike or looking for the boundary, the Diamond provides a versatile platform for developing batting skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExcellent Pickup \u0026amp; Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePickup is extremely important when selecting a junior cricket bat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Diamond 404 Junior is carefully shaped to provide young players with an excellent combination of \u003cstrong\u003epower, balance and manoeuvrability\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA manageable pickup allows juniors to get the bat into position more efficiently, maintain better control through the downswing and generate bat speed naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis can help young players improve their timing and technique while building confidence against faster bowling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFlowing Contoured Spine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Diamond features its distinctive \u003cstrong\u003eflowing contoured spine\u003c\/strong\u003e, appropriately proportioned for the junior blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis carefully designed shape helps distribute willow efficiently throughout the bat, contributing to excellent balance while retaining material through the important hitting zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a junior bat that provides a confidence-inspiring hitting area without feeling unnecessarily cumbersome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eF4.5 Face Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eF4.5 face profile\u003c\/strong\u003e complements the balanced characteristics of the Diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking together with the centrally positioned swell and flowing spine, it provides a generous hitting area with the modern playing characteristics expected from the GM Diamond range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePowerarc Bow Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Diamond also incorporates GM's \u003cstrong\u003ePowerarc bow profile\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carefully shaped bow contributes to the bat's balance and swing characteristics, helping young players move the blade smoothly through their shots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombined with the mid swell, the Powerarc profile helps create a versatile junior cricket bat suitable for both controlled and aggressive stroke play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMulti-Piece Cane Handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Diamond 404 features a quality \u003cstrong\u003emulti-piece cane handle\u003c\/strong\u003e, providing an excellent combination of flexibility, feel and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle helps manage unwanted vibration through impact while maintaining a responsive connection between the player's hands and the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor junior cricketers progressing to harder cricket balls and more competitive bowling, a quality handle can make a noticeable difference to comfort and confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDXM Toughsheet Facing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Diamond 404 comes with \u003cstrong\u003eDXM Toughsheet facing\u003c\/strong\u003e, providing additional protection to the surface of the English Willow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is particularly useful for junior players using their bat regularly for training and matches, helping protect the face against normal wear and tear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGM NOW! Preparation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGM Diamond BS55 404 Junior comes with GM NOW! factory preparation\u003c\/strong\u003e, reducing the amount of traditional preparation required before progressing towards match use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with any new English Willow cricket bat, sensible preparation and gradual introduction to harder cricket balls are still recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eToeTek™ Protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToeTek™ protection\u003c\/strong\u003e provides additional protection to the lower section of the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe toe is regularly exposed to ground contact, moisture and impact from full deliveries, making it one of the most vulnerable areas of a cricket bat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToeTek™ helps provide additional durability and protection throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade in England\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGM Diamond BS55 404 Junior 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e is manufactured by Gunn \u0026amp;
