PERFORMANCE GRADE CRICKET BAT

Built for Performance. Not for Show.

Performance Grade bats are for players who care about how a bat performs — not how it looks.

Made from the same low density English willow as our top tier bats, these are built using the exact same process, with one key difference:

 cosmetic imperfections in the willow

What That Actually Means

The traditional grading system focuses on:

• Grain count
• Visual appearance
• Colour

We don’t.

Because none of that guarantees performance.

At Badger Cricket, performance comes from:

• The pressing
• The handle
• The density of the willow
• The shape and balance

 not how clean the face looks

Same Performance. Better Value.

Performance Grade bats often feature:

• Less Grains
• Stains
• Colour variation
• Slight visual imperfections

What they don’t lack is performance.

These bats are:

• Pressed the same
• Shaped the same
• Built to the same standard

 You’re getting a high-performing bat, without paying for a perfect-looking piece of wood.

Who This Bat Is For

This is the ideal choice if you:

• Care more about runs than looks
• Want top-level performance at better value
• Understand that cosmetics don’t equal quality

Built to Perform

Just like every Badger bat, Performance Grade bats are:

• Handcrafted in Melbourne
• Built from low density English willow
• Designed for real match conditions
• Tested through real use

Built in the Den

Every bat is made with the same intent —
to perform in the middle.

Cosmetics don’t change that.
