Unleash the Dark Force.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsk most club batters where they score and the honest answer is \"everywhere\" — a cover drive when it's full, a pull when it's short, a cut when there's width. A bat weighted hard toward the toe or the shoulder quietly punishes half of that repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BLAK 200 is shaped for players who don't specialise. A mid-blade profile centres the sweet spot so front-foot and back-foot shots both come off the middle, and Grade 3+ English willow gives you the timber quality to back it up. Massive edges through the drive zone finish the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBulletproof Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade 3+ English willow:\u003c\/strong\u003e A genuine step up in timber — straighter, cleaner grain that plays in faster and keeps its rebound through a full season of Saturdays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMid-blade profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet spot centred so drives, cuts and pulls all find the middle — the most adaptable shape for players who score all round the wicket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront and back foot balance:\u003c\/strong\u003e You don't have to change how you bat to suit the bat, which matters when wickets differ every week.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMassive edges at the drive zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thick edges convert half-timed shots and thick outside edges into runs instead of catches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePronounced bow:\u003c\/strong\u003e More face presented at contact, so the middle plays bigger than it measures and drives stay down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRound treble spring handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sprung cane construction absorbs the shock of a jarring delivery before it reaches your hands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlso made in junior sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e DSC produce the BLAK 200 in sizes 3, 4, 5, 6 and Harrow — ask us to order a smaller size in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo in stock at Cranbourne.\u003c\/strong\u003e The 200 is the shape most club players should be buying, and it's the one that clears first once pre-season gets going.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e DSC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRange:\u003c\/strong\u003e BLAK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWillow:\u003c\/strong\u003e English willow, Grade 3+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e SH (Short Handle) — Mens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 1160–1200 g (2.9 – 2.10 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round, treble spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-blade profile with pronounced bow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hex grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handcrafted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMid Profile vs Low Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mid-blade profile puts the sweet spot in the centre of the blade, which suits batters who play off both feet and wickets with a bit of bounce.
