Grade Five bats typically have wide grains that are not necessarily straight, along with a significant proportion of coloured wood, butterfly staining, knots, or blemishes. As such, they’re usually bleached to give the blade a cleaner appearance. Wider grains means younger wood, and younger wood improves in performance over time. That makes Grade Five bats a great option if you know you’ll be using the bat regularly, whether that’s for matches, training, or casual practice.
Please note that these are typical characteristics. While we work closely with our partner brands to provide the best bats for you, we are unable to guarantee a specific number of grains or the overall appearance of the willow on individual bats.

Built for dynamic cricketers, the New Balance DC 580 Junior Cricket Bat features a low swell and monstrous edges so you can blast the ball over the rope from any position, front or back foot. Some slight duckbill shaping towards the toe of the bat saves weight for more manoeuvrability, while bold new stickers display your big-hitting attitude.
