Cricket Bat Sizes

Here is some information related to cricket bat sizes. We have compiled this information from two prominent manufaturers, GM & Kookabura.

Kookabura

Kookaburra has bats available in five different ranges; Kahuna, Ultra Menace, Blade, Cadejo and Ice. The average weight of Kahuna and Ice is 37 ounces each, while Ultra Menace and Kahuna T20 weigh 39, 35 and 38 ounces respectively.

The Kookaburra bats come in sizes from 0 to 6 followed by SM, SH, LH.

What Kookaburra recommends is that for a cricketer with the height of around four feet or less, the size zero should be used. Thereafter for every three inches of increase in the cricketer’s height, the size of the bat needs to increase by 1.

Size	Bat	Range
1		122 " to 129.5 "
2		130 " to 137 "
3		137 " to 145 "
4		145 " to 150 "
5		150 " to 157.5 "
6		157.5 " to 162.5 "
SM		162.5 " to 167.5 "
SH		167.5 " to 175.3 "
LH		175.3" to 183"

Gunn & Moore

For the Adult players:

1. Apex DXM: Like most of the other Gunn and Moore adult bats, it has a GM Control Grip with edges that are substantially shaped at the drive zone. It has sharp contoured edges with a precision machined pick-up
2. Flare DXM: It has flowing and contoured edges with perimeter weight and a light pick-up, making it easier to have a big bat-lift.
3. Flare DXM GM+: This is the advanced version of the Flare DXM with Shock-Absorba grip, huge profile and a better sweetspot with an amazing ping.
4. Icon DXM: Icon DXM has thick power edges and high swell position, with a powerarc blade and Super Concave Profile & Toe Up that makes it one of the lighter bats with a great stroking ability.
5. Icon DXM GM+: This range of Gunn and Moore has a Shock-Absorba Grip and has thick, power edges as compared to the GM edges that Icon DXM has. The one thing that distinguishes it from the other bats is the very light pick-up that it has.
6. Hero DXM: The Hero DXM has a concave profile and toe with strong, contoured edges and a low swell position.

The GM bats are available in sizes 0 to 6, Harrow, Academy and Full-Size Short Handel.

For the junior players, while it is good to look at the brand and the range, what also matters is the height of the bat as compared to the batsman’s height.
