Our main collection of cricket bats are inspired by the bat shapes used by pro cricketers. They are fantastic shapes, based around having a good amount of wood in the sweet spot, combined with being engineered for fantastic pick-up.
Most of our pro cricketers fit into these pre-defined shapes. However, some of our higher profile players require subtle tweaks to emphasise certain areas of their game.
Now, after months of work in our Robertsbridge factory, our Master Batmaker has put the finishing touches on an incredible batch of bats shaped to the style of the pro players who use them.
Today, we launch the Player shapes of Harry Brook, Ollie Pope, Kane Williamson and Travis Head. From unique handle placements, shorter blades and a mixture of shapes, get your hands on the bats that power the best.
Harry’s Wand
There probably isn’t a more talked about cricketer in the world right now than Harry Brook. With test centuries, ODI tons and T20 demolitions, Harry’s wand is well used and well talked about.
With a standard size blade and mid to low sweet spot, Harry Brook's shape is designed for power. The gradual duckbill into semi rounded toe gives a classic look with great pick-up. The standout talking point of the Brook bat is the forward set handle, which enables Harry to get his hands in front of the contact point with the ball.
Head of The Table
The man who lit up the Ashes now brings his bat to our range. Featuring his iconic Dairy Farmers sponsor sticker, the Head Nova has a standard handle with a 1/4 inch shorter blade, meaning the bat is slightly shorter overall.
A long running gradual decrease into square toe makes the bat feel huge when looking down, while the bat has a mid-blade sweet spot, which enables Travis (and now you) to hit all around the wicket - whether short or full.
Ollie’s Choice
The Pope shape has been in demand for a number of years now, with a number of fellow pros adopting the set-up. So what does it feature?
OIlie's set up has ¾ inch longer handle along with ¾ inch shorter blade. While this equates to the same size as a standard bat, Pope and many of his contemporaries feel this enables better pick-up and bat speed.
With a mid to low sweet spot that encourages sumptuous driving, along with a sharper more abrupt duckbill and modern square toe, this bat is a unique blend of craftsmanship and thinking.
That’s Gotta Be Kane’s
If you are going to get the bat of a pro cricketer, why not get the one used by one of the GOATS.
Kane Williamson isn't just one of NZ's finest but one of the best to ever do it.
His bat features a mid-to-low swell, long sweeping spine and a square toe.
The perfect bat for a classical player.
