Maximum Hitting Area.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBulletproof Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade 2 English willow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium-tier timber with clean, straight grain — plays in fast, rebounds hard and holds its performance season after season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow blade profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet spot positioned low on the blade where front-foot shots make contact, so drives come off the middle instead of the upper half.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum hitting area:\u003c\/strong\u003e The profile spreads usable blade across a wider zone, giving you more of the bat to work with on every shot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBig edges and generous middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Substantial edges convert half-hit drives into boundaries, which is where front-foot players score the bulk of their runs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRound treble spring handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sprung cane damps the shock of a firm drive so your hands stay comfortable through a long innings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex grip fitted:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ready to knock in and play.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJust one in stock at Cranbourne.\u003c\/strong\u003e Grade 2 blades at this price rarely sit on the rack — when a single unit is all we have, it goes to whoever moves first.\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 2\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 Low blade profile for front-foot players\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\u003eLow Profile vs Mid Profile — Which Suits You?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.
