The DKP VK-18 boasts a sleek and streamlined profile, combining tradition with a modern aesthetic. The refined edges and full duckbill back profile provide a lightweight feel without compromising on power.

The DKP VK-18 is beautifully handcrafted for drive and balance. Just think of Virat Kohli driving perfectly through the covers. With our classic white and black decals, stand out from the rest with something that is handmade and crafted in England using a unique pressing process. 

Made from the very best Players or Grade 1 English Willow, using lightweight clefts, each bat is handmade from start to finish, with every bat being triple pressed to get the best performance.

Every angle is precisely shaped and smoothed through our unique sanding so the bat has a stunning glow. This is more sculpture than carpentry from the master bat maker at DKP.

Personalise your cricketing experience with customisation options. Choose from various handle type, bat grips and even add your initials to make your VK-18 truly yours.

DKP VK-18 Characteristics 

  • A full duckbill profiled bat with a dramatic mid to low swell and hybrid toe
  • Hand crafted from our top grade English willow
  • Sculpted profile with minimal concave sanding for fullest back
  • Concentration of wood through bat’s core
  • Senior comes in standard short handle but also available in LH/SSB/SB/LB 
  • Oval or round handle available

    Our DKP VK-18 bats are offered in two grades as described below:

    Players Grade 1+ will be the best pieces of wood we have in our workshop and would be the same quality that the professional cricketer would utilise. For example, tight grain or predominantly sap wood which is all white wood, no blemishes and exceptional performance as used by international players. This grade is very rare and is limited in availability.

    Grade 1 English Willow cricket bats will have 7 or more Grains, which will have a clear white 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 pro players.

    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 & International (Rest of World) Delivery:

    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. 

    Please see table below showing the cost of shipping rates worldwide, if you require a different combination of items let us know and we will provide you with a accurate quote.

    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.
