Product Details
The Hitter Edition is the entry to the MCG Player Series — genuine Grade 3 English willow, sourced direct from the master growers of England and hand-pressed in our Berwick workshop for hard Australian pitches. Tough, forgiving and built for sheer power.
Why batters pick this bat
Pressed to take a beating and still ping. The Hitter Edition gives you Player Series profile and craftsmanship at an honest, accessible price. Often slightly heavier and more durable than higher grades thanks to denser fibres — you'll get a full season of hard cricket out of it.
Who it's for
Weekend cricketers stepping up to senior cricket, juniors moving into adult bats, or 1st XI players wanting a reliable back-up that can absorb the new ball at training and still go to a game on Saturday.
