DSC Blak 88 Grade 5 English Willow Cricket Bat '26/27 - Adult

The DSC Blak 88 English Willow Cricket Bat is made from Grade 5 English Willow and brings the all-round characteristics of the Rachin Ravindra-endorsed BLAK range to a more accessible price point. Its traditional full blade features massive edges and a mid swell, creating a dynamic sweet spot that supports confident stroke play off both the front and back foot. The balanced profile makes it a versatile option for players developing a complete range of shots. The Blak 88 is supplied with a factory-fitted cross weave sheet, providing face protection while reducing the preparation required compared with a natural blade bat. With an average weight of 2 lb 8 oz–2 lb 10.5 oz, it combines its substantial blade with the short-handle configuration of the BLAK series. Refreshed for the 2026/27 Australian cricket season, the bat also includes a full-length cover for transport and storage. Please note: Cricket bats are individually crafted from natural willow, so variations in grain structure, colour, appearance and weight are normal. Bat weights and grain characteristics are subject to availability, and product images are for illustration purposes only. The bat you receive may therefore vary in appearance from the images shown.
