Our short handle bats are specifically designed for serious club cricketers aged 18 to 55 who play regular league cricket. They are made for players who prioritise performance, balance, and the genuine 'ping' of high-quality English willow.
The correct weight depends on your physical strength and batting style. Generally, faster, touch-oriented players prefer lighter bats (2lb 8oz to 2lb 10oz), while power hitters might prefer a heavier blade (up to 3lb+). We offer clear weight ranges to help you choose what suits your game.
The grade refers to the cosmetic appearance and number of blemishes. Grade 1 has the cleanest face with the straightest grains and fewest marks. Grade 2 and 3 offer excellent playing performance but will have more visible heartwood, specks, or slight blemishes, which offer great value for money.
Yes, at Trogon Cricket, all our bats are traditionally made. This means the willow is hand-selected and the crucial final shaping, pressing, and finishing are carried out by a real bat maker, not on a mass-production line.
Pick-up is how heavy the bat feels when you pick it up in your stance, not just its absolute weight. A good pick-up means the weight is perfectly distributed, making the bat feel lighter and easier to manoeuvre, which is essential for quick hands and timing.
