From Cleft to the Crease

This is a unique service we are offering our customers, a bespoke cricket bat based on your specification and desire, handmade in England. Take the journey and design a bat that will be made by hand and eye alone by our master bat maker to your exact specification.

You can use the bat builder form to make your ultimate cricket bat, with a 'Additional information' text box to help us with further particulars you require.

Our Grade 1 English Willow cricket bats will have 7 or more Grains which will have a white clear face and no blemishes on the face of the blade or with a small strip of heartwood. Heartwood is from the centre of the tree and is generally preferred by international players. 

A complete guide has been created detailing all the bat terminology, which we believe will assist you in creating your ideal cricket bat. For example, handle type, bat shape, blade profile and sweetspot position fully explained with images, just click on the link

We all know us batsmen can be very fussy so we can alter the length of the blade, the weight of the bat, the length of the handle, and the shape of the handle. We hand grade our clefts so can usually find a cleft that you are looking for.

By hand crafting our cricket bats we can make the bat you want, from the profile of the bat, edge size, a concaved shape or a full profile. We can position the sweetspot for the kind of conditions you play in. Fast bouncy pitches where runs come from flat bat shots need light bats with a high middle as scoring shots come from generating bat speed. Low bouncing pitches need heavier bats with lower middles. Bat speed is not as important as getting value for shots, so a slightly heavier bat is recommended. 

For example bats for the UK and USA we would recommend low middles due to the general low & slow nature of the pitches, while we would suggest bats to be used in Australia/South Africa to have a slightly higher middles due to the fast and bouncy pitches you are likely to encounter. At DKP Cricket we pride ourselves on getting the right bat for every customer. We would love to discuss further particulars on your bat with you. For a instant response complete the Contact Us form or call us on +44  7711 890103

All our Willow/Clefts are sourced from a long standing willow supplier in England, ensuring high quality clefts and more importantly superb performing willow too. 

PERSONALISE YOUR CRICKET BAT

A cricket bat's weight, balance and length should be made to match your height, build and your personal style of play. The sweet spot should be in the part of the bat that will assist you in your batting style.

The handle length, size and shape can also be customised to suit you. Feel free to ask for any adjustments to be made however trivial they may seem.

We offer striking laser engraving on any purchase of a Cricket Bat. If you decide to go for Laser Engraving, simply select 'Yes' to laser engraving on the product page, thereafter 'add a note to your order' at checkout for where and what you would like engraved on your cricket bat.

Delivery (UK Mainland) Free Delivery

Orders will be dispatched within 1 or 2 working days of the order being placed, unless it is a custom made cricket bat (see more info below). If your goods are not in stock, we will order the goods for you after payment has cleared. We aim to deliver all items in stock to UK mainland addresses within 2-3 working days, unless you have ordered a bat with the “knocking-in" service, for which we ask you to allow an extra 4-5 working days for delivery, or 7-10 days at peak periods (March/April/May).  If a product is not in stock we will back order it for you, but in this case, please allow up to 28 days for delivery.  If you would rather not wait you will be given the option of a similar alternative product, or the option to cancel your order. We can also deliver to work address if more convenient.

Custom Made Bats: Please allow 7 working days for your ultimate cricket bat to be constructed, as perfection takes time.

European delivery times will vary depending on the region, but usually take 5-7 working days.  If you have ordered a bat with the “knocking-in" service, please allow an extra 4-5 working days for delivery. We use trusted partners UPS or Fed-Ex for all our international deliveries. 

For all orders outside of the UK, we offer a ship by weight service, meaning your shipping cost will be calculated at checkout based purely on the total weight of the products ordered.

DKP Pro Junior Cricket Bat | All Models Available

Please Note: While Long Handle cricket bats are advisable for taller players, and are particularly useful for digging out Yorkers,

it is not uncommon to see adults over 6ft 3” tall using a short handle bat - mainly because the grip is generally deemed to be more comfortable. 

It just comes down to personal taste.  If you are still unsure on the correct size, we would recommend that you message us and we will offer our expert advice.
