Who uses the MRF Genius Grand Edition? This is the flagship profile used by Indian legend Virat Kohli. It is often considered the premium "Test" or "ODI" version of his bat, designed for batters who want the absolute maximum amount of wood behind the ball for dominating stroke play.
What is the quality of willow in the Grand Edition? The Grand Edition is crafted from the very best Premium Grade 1 English Willow available in the MRF factory. These clefts are hand-selected for their tight, straight grains (usually 8-12+) and lack of blemishes, representing the highest tier of commercial bats.
What is the sweet spot profile on this bat? The bat features a massive Mid-Middle sweet spot that extends further down the blade than standard bats. Unlike lighter models, the Grand Edition carries a full profile with almost no concaving (wood removal) at the back, ensuring power even on off-center hits.
Is the MRF Genius Grand Edition ready to play? No, this is a professional-grade willow product and requires a thorough knocking-in process. We recommend 6-8 hours of manual knocking with a mallet and oiling to compress the soft fibers and prepare the thick edges for the impact of a hard leather ball.
