MRF Genius Prince Grade 1 English Willow Cricket Bat – Harrow Size
Step up to a serious junior bat built on the same willow standard the world's best Test batters demand. The MRF Genius Prince in Harrow size delivers Grade 1 English Willow, a traditional pro profile, and the trusted MRF craftsmanship that has shaped icons of the game for over four decades.
Engineered for advanced young players (typically ages 13–15, height 5'3"–5'6") who are transitioning from junior gear to senior-style performance, the Genius Prince Harrow is hand-selected, hand-pressed, and finished with a full traditional toe to give you a clean, powerful sweet spot exactly where you need it.
Why players choose the MRF Genius Prince Harrow
Made from premium Grade 1 English Willow with straight, evenly spaced grains, this bat offers exceptional rebound and a generous middle ideal for stroke-play on bouncy, true wickets. The mid-to-low sweet spot favors front-foot drives and confident pull shots, while the concaved back keeps the pickup feeling lighter than it actually weighs. Each blade is hand-pressed to optimize ping without compromising durability — a balance MRF has been refining since 1954.

6. FAQ Section
Q1. What size is a Harrow cricket bat and who is it for? A Harrow is the bridge size between junior (size 6) and full senior short-handle (SH) bats. It typically suits players 5'3"–5'6" tall, generally aged 13–15, who have outgrown size 6 but aren't ready for the swing weight of an adult bat.
Q2. Is the MRF Genius Prince made from real Grade 1 English Willow? Yes. The Genius Prince Harrow is crafted from hand-selected Grade 1 English Willow imported from the UK, featuring straight, evenly spaced grains and minimal blemishes — the same willow grade used in MRF's senior pro range.
Q3. Can I use this bat with a leather cricket ball? Yes. Grade 1 English Willow bats like the Genius Prince are designed for leather ball cricket. They are not recommended for soft tennis balls or wet/dewy conditions, which can damage the willow.
Q4. How much does the MRF Genius Prince Harrow weigh? The Harrow Genius Prince weighs approximately 2 lb 4 oz to 2 lb 6 oz (1.02–1.07 kg), categorized as Very Light to Light. Exact weight is hand-checked before shipping and listed per unit.
