Product Details
Product Details
The Ben Stokes bat. The full-fat version. Diamond is the livery England's biggest match-winner has carried through Ashes hundreds and World Cup finals — and the Original is the top of the 2026 Diamond tree. Prime, unbleached Grade 1 English willow, hand-selected in Nottingham, then pressed to hit from ball one.
The shape Stokes built
New for 2026, Diamond runs GM's classic L555 profile with a balanced mid-swell, a flowing contoured spine and a well-rounded bat profile, finished with the F4.5 Powerarc bow. Translation: it picks up beautifully, drives on the up, and still has enough behind the splice to take on the pull. Built for the all-round stroke-maker who wants to play every shot in the book.
