Is Kashmir willow or English willow better for a junior player?

Kashmir willow is better for most junior players — it is more durable, requires less care, and handles mis-hits better. English willow is preferred at senior level for outright performance.

Does the Puma Future 3.1 need knocking in?

Yes — all willow cricket bats need knocking in before first use. Knock in for at least 2–3 hours with a mallet, starting gently and gradually building up force.
