Built for Fearless, Balanced Strokeplay
The BLU 500 is designed for batters who want a balanced, mid-bladed bat that performs on both feet. Whether you're driving on the up, cutting square, or pulling off the back foot, the BLU 500 rewards confident strokeplay — ideal for club and league cricketers, top-order batters, and modern white-ball play.
Technology Breakdown
Grade 1+ English Willow: One step above standard Grade 1 — tighter grain, cleaner heartwood, louder ping.
Curved Blade: Concave-pressed face that pre-loads the willow for a more powerful release.
Treble Spring (6-Piece) Handle: Six alternating layers of cane and rubber springs cushion mistimed shots and maximise energy transfer on the middle.
Mid-Bladed Profile: Balanced sweet-spot position that adapts to front-foot drives and back-foot pulls equally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the BLU 500 ready to play out of the wrapper?
No — like all premium English willow bats, it needs knocking-in and oiling (6–8 hours of progressive mallet work plus 2–3 thin coats of raw linseed oil).
What batting style does the BLU 500 suit?
Balanced, mid-bladed players who play across both feet — classical drivers, top-order batters, and modern white-ball strokemakers.
How does the BLU 500 compare to the BLAK 550?
Both share Grade 1+ willow and the 6-piece treble spring handle. The BLU 500 is slightly more balanced and mid-bladed, while the BLAK 550 leans more aggressive with a more pronounced curve.
Is this bat MCC compliant?
Yes — the BLU 500 conforms to MCC Law 5 maximum approved dimensions.
