The heart of every great bat is the willow it is crafted from. We source only the finest English Willow, graded meticulously to ensure optimal performance, durability, and a stunning grain structure.

From Grade 1 pieces chosen by professionals for their clean grains, minimal blemishes, and exceptional ping, through to robust Grade 3 options that deliver outstanding value for club and recreational cricketers — our selection caters to every level of the game.

  • Grade 1: Minimal blemishes, 6+ straight grains, professional standard
  • Grade 2: Slight cosmetic marks, excellent performance-to-value ratio
  • Grade 3: Durable and reliable for club cricket and practice

How to Choose Your Bat

Selecting the right bat is one of the most personal decisions a cricketer makes. Here is what to consider when narrowing down your options.

Most senior bats weigh between 2lb 7oz and 2lb 12oz. Heavier bats generate more power but demand greater bat speed. If you are a timing-based player, lean towards the lighter end. If you play aggressive, front-foot cricket, a slightly heavier blade may suit your game.

Pick-up describes how a bat feels when you lift and swing it. Two bats of identical weight can feel entirely different depending on where the mass is distributed. A lower middle offers a driving-oriented pick-up, while a higher middle suits back-foot and cut-shot players.

Grade 1 willow offers the cleanest grains and the best immediate performance, but it comes at a premium. Grade 2 and Grade 3 bats still perform superbly once knocked in and represent exceptional value. For junior or recreational players, Grade 3 is often the smartest investment.

Senior bats come in Short Handle (SH) and Long Handle (LH). Juniors are sized 1 through 6 plus Harrow. A properly fitted bat should reach to the top of your thigh pad when you stand upright. Visit our Norwich store for a free fitting, or book a video consultation.

Finding Your Pick-Up

A bat should feel like a natural extension of your arms. The distribution of weight through the blade determines how it responds at the crease, and the best players are meticulous about finding the profile that complements their technique.

Whether you prefer a high sweet spot for back-foot dominance, a low-middle swell for driving through the covers, or an evenly balanced profile for all-round stroke play, we carry bats to suit every approach. Our team can guide you to the right shape for your game.
