Cricket Bat Size Guide

Cricket Bat Weights

Selecting the correct weight is key to maximizing your batting performance. Whilst a heavier bat will provide more power to your shots, selecting a bat which is too heavy will impede stroke play.

As a general rule a Light or Medium weight bats will suit “Controlled Stroke Makers” whereas a heavy weight bat is more suitable for a “Big Hitter”.

English Willow is a soft fibrous wood which provides excellent rebound performance when the ball strikes the middle of the bat, English willow bats are therefore recommended for top and middle order batsmen who are not beginners.

Kashmir Willow is a harder more dense wood and although it has similar to characteristics to English Willow, it is a little more brittle and therefore less responsive when the ball strikes the middle of the bat. Kashmir Willow bats do however offer excellent value for money and are ideal for lower order batsmen, beginners or club bags.

English Willow Grades

Test Grade willow is the very best of English Willow, and is normally reserved for manufacturers own pro-players or special edition bats found in exclusive specialist cricket stores. Test Grade willow will have between six and nine straight grains and is used by Professional Cricketers.

Grade I willow is the best willow used for producing “high end” retail cricket bats, Grade I willow bats will typically have six straight grains and a consistent clean face with only minor or no blemishes (there may be the odd blemish on the edge or back of the bat). These bats are used by Professional and First Team Club Cricketers.

Grade II willow is also a high quality willow, Grade II willow bats will typically have at least four straight grains however the blade will have some small blemishes or discolouration however the performance of the bat will be unaffected. These bats are typically used by First and Second Team Club Cricketers.

Grade III willow is used for manufacturing most non-covered retail cricket bats under £100. Grade III bats will have blemishes or imperfections on the blade of the bat and may have an irregular grain pattern which could make the bat less responsive than the higher grade willow bats. These bats will be used by the majority of Club Cricketers.

Grade IV willow is normally used for manufacturing budget cricket bats which typically have a covering on the face of the bat to hide imperfections, blemishes and an irregular grain pattern, again these bat are less responsive than the higher grade willow bats and will normally be used by beginners.
