DSC BLAK 300 English Willow Cricket Bat - Grade 2 Short Handle

Low Profile. Front Foot. Maximum Hitting Area.

If you score most of your runs in front of square — driving through cover, hitting through mid-on, coming down the track — then a bat with the mass sitting high is fighting you. You want the wood low, where the ball actually meets the blade on a front-foot shot.

The BLAK 300 is shaped exactly that way. A low blade profile puts the middle down toward the toe and spreads the hitting area across the maximum possible surface, all in Grade 2 English willow. For a front-foot player, this is the shape that makes driving feel effortless.

Bulletproof Benefits

• Grade 2 English willow: Premium-tier timber with clean, straight grain — plays in fast, rebounds hard and holds its performance season after season.
• Low blade profile: Sweet spot positioned low on the blade where front-foot shots make contact, so drives come off the middle instead of the upper half.
• Maximum hitting area: The profile spreads usable blade across a wider zone, giving you more of the bat to work with on every shot.
• Big edges and generous middle: Substantial edges convert half-hit drives into boundaries, which is where front-foot players score the bulk of their runs.
• Round treble spring handle: Sprung cane damps the shock of a firm drive so your hands stay comfortable through a long innings.
• Hex grip fitted: Ready to knock in and play.

Low Profile vs Mid Profile — Which Suits You?

A low profile places the sweet spot toward the toe and suits front-foot batters on truer, lower-bouncing wickets — drives and shots on the up come off the middle. A mid profile sits the sweet spot higher and suits players who cut and pull, or who bat on surfaces with more bounce. Neither is better; it's about where the ball meets your bat most often. If you score in front of square, go low.

Who It's For

Front-foot batters, top-order players on good batting decks, and anyone whose scoring shots are the cover drive and the straight hit rather than the pull and cut.
