WHY GRAY-NICOLLS?
With over a century of experience, and with every bat hand made by one of our bat makers, you are guaranteed incredible performance and service from Gray-Nicolls.
Your bat will come from the same trees as the professionals, with English Willow grown locally to Robertsbridge, East Sussex.
BAT SIZE GUIDE
Picking the right size bat is crucial to your success on the field. If it's too small or too big, batting will be uncomfortable and your performance will be compromised.
Bat size is based on the height of the player. Take a look at our handy Size Guide to see which bat size you should choose.
Long handle is available on some bats, but Short Handle is the bat of choice by all our professional cricketers over 180cm including Dom Sibley and Zak Crawley.
Here are a few terms you may need along the way
SH = Short Handle
LB = Long Blade
SM = Small Men's
HOW MUCH SHOULD I SPEND ON MY BAT?
There are a range of cricket bats that cater to all levels and abilities. Prices vary according to the grade of the willow used for the bat.
Bats are graded and therefore priced according to their aesthetic, and their predicted performance potential. Generally, bats that look better cosmetically perform better, and are therefore priced accordingly.
A casual player on a Sunday might consider an option such as a Hypernova 1.0 4 Star, while a more regular player at a higher level would consider an Alpha 5 Star or a Gray-Nicolls Players edition.

Gray-Nicolls is the sport's most iconic brand, having delivered high performance cricket bats since 1896.
