MRF VK18 Genius Grand Master English Willow Cricket Bat

🏏 Handcrafted Grade 1 English willow: Each bat is hand‑selected and finely handcrafted in India to ensure straight grains and outstanding durability.
🏏 Clean, minimalist finish: Minimal stickers let the natural willow grain shine and keep the overall weight in check.
🏏 Mid‑to‑low swell with duckbill profile: This design shifts the centre of mass toward the hitting zone, creating an expansive sweet spot while maintaining a light pickup.
🏏 Thick edges for power: Substantial edges enhance stability and power transfer at impact, giving players confidence on both front‑ and back‑foot shots.
🏏 Semi‑oval handle: The semi‑oval short handle improves grip comfort, encourages correct hand alignment and aids control through each stroke.
🏏 Engineered for advanced players: Blends premium materials and modern shaping techniques to deliver a bat that offers both raw power and refined control.
🏏 Maintain your willow bat: Proper care and maintenance are essential to preserve the performance and lifespan of an English willow cricket bat—see our maintenance guide for details.

What distinguishes the MRF Genius Grand Master from other VK 18 bats? The Grand Master edition focuses on a "clean, minimalist" design philosophy. It utilizes a pronounced duckbill profile to shift the center of mass, offering a lighter pickup and more refined control compared to the sheer bulk of the standard Grand Edition, while still maintaining thick edges for power.

What grade of willow is the Grand Master made from? This bat is crafted from Handcrafted Grade 1 English Willow. The "Grand Master" selection process prioritizes clefts with straight grains and a clean face, using minimal stickers to allow the natural quality of the wood to be the primary visual feature.

What is the sweet spot and profile shape? The bat features a mid-to-low swell which creates an expansive sweet spot in the hitting zone. This is paired with a duckbill toe profile that removes bulk from the very bottom, ensuring the bat feels light in the hands for quick reaction shots.

Is the MRF Genius Grand Master ready to play? No, despite being an advanced player's bat, it is made from natural English Willow and requires preparation. We recommend a full manual knocking-in process with a mallet and oiling to compress the fibers and ensure the thick edges are durable enough for match play.

      Good fit
      Color: Light Grey, Size: Medium
      A nice vest and a true slim fit. Good quality for the price and no satin back, the material is used for the whole vest, allowing it to be worn without a jacket and still look smart. I am 6' 3" and 200lbs with a slim build, the Medium size fit like a glove, snug but not tight as a waistcoat should be.

      Good Fit, Fold Lines
      5'9, around 125-130 pounds, and the Small fit me just fine. Adjuster strap provides a great range of... adjustment. Good waistcoat if you are looking for something quick and cheap. With it being cheap, however, the material suffers. Due to it being folded while in shipping, there are seem lines going down the sides of the waistcoat which make it poke out and look awkward.

      Great vest for a great price!
      This vest is more slim fitting, stylish, & flattering than many vests. It fits as expected, but it is adjustable in the back, so you do have some wiggle room to tighten & loosen it if you’re unsure about the size. My son wore this vest to homecoming. He is 5’ 10” & 150 lbs, & the size small was a good fit.

      Great Quality Vest
      Great quality vest versatile for all occasions. I personally felt it ran a bit tight (I ordered a large and felt like I was sucking in a bit the whole time) but I think an XL would have been too big. Overall impressed and happy with purchase.

      BUTTONS LIKE A SMALLER SIZE. GOOD QUALITY.
      DESIGN IS EXCELLENT. QUALITY IS FINE. I WEAR A LARGE, BUT THIS VEST, IN A LARGE, DID NOT ALLOW ME TO BUTTON ... AS IF IT IS A MEDIUM FIT. WILL RETURN, BUT IT IS A VERY GOOD VEST OTHERWISE.
