The Gray-Nicolls Havoc HB317 Warrior Junior brings the aggressive Havoc profile — the range carrying Harry Brook's HB317 mark — down to a junior-friendly price and weight. Crafted from Kashmir willow, it pairs a genuinely light pickup with a large hitting zone, making it an excellent step-up bat for young players starting to strike the ball with intent.
Key Features
- Kashmir willow blade: Durable, forgiving and well suited to junior cricket and net work.
- Exaggerated spine profile: Mid blade with a raised spine that boosts pick-up feel and enlarges the hitting zone.
- Powercurve face: Semi-rounded face for an increased profile and optimum ping off the middle.
- Offset edge profile: Enhances swell and widens the sweet spot for off-centre strikes.
- TRACTION grip: Lightweight high-performance grip finished with fibre face tape.
Performance Overview
Junior bats live or die on pickup. Get it wrong and a young player fights the bat instead of the bowler. The Havoc HB317 Warrior sets its balance point mid-to-high, which produces a feather-light pickup and lets juniors get the bat through the line quickly. The mid blade with exaggerated spine keeps mass where it matters, so despite the light feel there is real punch through the ball — particularly square of the wicket.
Benefits
- Light, controllable pickup that builds confidence in developing batters.
- Large sweet spot forgives the off-centre strikes juniors inevitably make.
- Kashmir willow stands up to net sessions and artificial surfaces.
- Full junior size run means the right fit as a player grows.

Final Verdict
One of the strongest value junior bats on the market. The Havoc HB317 Warrior gives young players a light, aggressive bat with a big middle, without the price tag of an English willow blade. If your junior is moving from soft ball into hard ball cricket, this is the bat to put in their hands.
