PLAYERS GRADE CRICKET BAT

Built for Performance at the Highest Level

Crafted from Test Match quality, low density English willow, this is the top tier of Badger Cricket. All bats are sourced from quality willow merchants supplying JSW grown trees. Clefts are pressed for optimal performance and the highest quality handles fitted, then shaped to your own specifications here in Melbourne.

These are the bats we build for serious players — designed to perform under pressure, not just look good on the shelf.

What Makes It Different

Every Players Grade bat is:

• Handcrafted in Melbourne
• Made from carefully selected premium English willow
• Shaped for maximum performance and pickup
• Built based on real match testing — not theory

This is the same standard used by sponsored players and professional cricketers.

Performance First

This isn’t a “one shape fits all” bat.

Each bat is built with intent:

• Strong, forgiving hitting zone
• Balanced pickup for fast hands
• Profiles designed for real match conditions

 The result: a bat that feels right and performs when it matters.
