At Trogon Cricket, we specialise in handmade English willow cricket bats, all handmade using traditional tools, in our workshop in West Sussex.

With our willow range spanning Players Grade, Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3, plus the ability to custom-make bats to your exact specifications, Trogon Cricket is the perfect destination for female cricketers looking to enhance their performance at the crease.

Here are our seven key things to look for when buying a ladies' cricket bat online:
1. Choose the Right Weight for Comfort and Performance
A cricket bat that is too heavy can hinder your shot-making and pick-up. Finding the right balance is crucial to ensuring comfort at the crease. Our ladies’ bats at Trogon Cricket offer an ultra-light pick-up while retaining a big profile that all players look for.
When selecting a bat, consider how comfortable it feels to pick it up in your stance.
A bat should allow you to easily play shots without feeling like it weighs you down. If you’re unsure, our team can always offer guidance and help you choose the right bat based on your strength and playing style.
We also understand that every player has a unique batting style. Some prefer slightly heavier bats for added power, while others opt for lighter bats for better control, especially if they are more nimble around the crease.
Our custom-made options allow you to specify the ideal weight to suit your game, ensuring you never compromise on performance.

2. Select the Correct Willow Grade
The grade of willow used in a cricket bat determines its quality, performance, and durability, as well as the price points.
Understanding the different grades can help you make an informed decision.
- Players Grade & Grade 1: The highest quality willow, offering excellent grain structure, superior ping, and outstanding longevity. These bats are used by professionals and serious cricketers looking for top-tier performance.
You can see our range of player-grade and grade-1 bats by clicking the below button.
- Grade 2: A high-quality bat still offers an outstanding balance of performance and affordability. It features slightly wider grains but retains excellent ping and playability.

- Grade 3: A more budget-friendly option that still provides a solid level of performance. While it may have more visible blemishes (pin knots and knots) and irregular grains, it is still a high-quality bat for club cricketers and casual players.

At Trogon Cricket, we stock all these willow grades, ensuring you can find a bat that suits your skill level and budget.
3. Check the Handle Shape for Comfort and Control
The handle is one of the most overlooked aspects of a cricket bat, yet it plays a critical role in how comfortable and controlled your shots feel.
There are three primary handle shapes to consider:
- Round Handle: Offers better wrist movement for the nurdles around the corner, allowing you to play more fluid strokes and flick shots easily. Ideal for players who rely on wristy shots.

- Semi-Oval Handle: Provides a more natural grip, reducing strain on the bottom hand and offering better control during defensive and attacking shots (a fan favourite for the more bottom-handed players among us).

- Oval handle: A more unique offering that some players prefer

Choosing the right handle shape ensures you can comfortably hold the bat and play your shots without discomfort.
At Trogon Cricket, we offer these handle options to cater to individual preferences, ensuring you have complete control over your batting technique.
4. Look for a Well-Balanced Profile
Balance is everything when it comes to selecting a cricket bat. A well-balanced bat provides smoother pick-up and shot execution, making it easier to control your movements and generate power effortlessly.
At Trogon Cricket, our ladies' bats are made with balance in mind.
Whether you prefer a bat with a high, mid, or low sweet spot, we can tailor it to suit your playing style.
- High Sweet Spot: Ideal for backfoot players who like playing cut shots and pulls - see our full high sweet spot infographic below.
- Mid Sweet Spot: A versatile option that suits all-round stroke players. See our -mid-sweet spot infographic below.
- Low Sweet Spot: Perfect for front-foot dominant players who enjoy playing drives and sweep shots. See our low sweet spot infographic below.
Choosing a bat that complements your playing style can improve your performance and ensure better shot execution in every match.
5. Ensure Customisation Options Are Available
No two players are the same, and no two batting styles are the same, which is why having the ability to customise your bat is essential.
Customisation allows you to create a bat that matches your preferences, ensuring maximum comfort and performance.
At Trogon Cricket, we offer:
- Custom weight selection to match your strength and playing technique.
- Middle position
- Willow grade
- A choice of handle shapes to suit your grip style.
