The Superior Academy Bat
The Superior profile in a more compact size. Our Academy bat features a blade one inch shorter than a traditional Short Handle, allowing us to produce a lighter, beautifully balanced bat while retaining the full profile and performance of our senior Superior.
A great option for female cricketers, smaller-framed players and young players progressing into senior cricket, or simply anyone who prefers a lighter, more manoeuvrable bat without sacrificing profile and performance.
Handmade from English willow by Tim and Nick, every Academy bat is built with the same care, pressing and attention to detail as our full-size senior bats.
Key Features:
- Academy size – blade one inch shorter than a traditional Short Handle
- Full Superior profile with no incurve – maximises wood in the hitting zone
- Mid-low middle for powerful driving and excellent front-foot performance
- Duckbill toe for excellent pick-up and balance
- 12-piece cane handle – semi-round into oval, pro style
- Semi-round face with bow through the hitting area
- Triple pressed by Tim
- Lighter, more compact alternative to a traditional Short Handle
- Finished with scuff sheet + resin toe guard for protection
