About this bat

The DSC Krunch 1.0 is a premium English willow cricket bat from DSC's Krunch range — one of the brand's flagship series built around the David Warner playing profile. Made from Grade 1 natural English willow, naturally air-dried and handpicked, the Krunch 1.0 is constructed for players who want a powerful, front-foot blade with exceptional balance and a mid-to-low sweet spot. DSC, manufactured in Batala, Punjab, has established itself as a serious performance brand used and endorsed by international cricketers.

The blade features a curved design with massive edges at the drive zone and an extended power zone that maximises the hitting area through the lower half of the bat. The mid-to-low profile delivers explosive power on front-foot shots while still offering precise pick-up — the bat weighs between 1160 and 1200 grams but carries with notably light feel in the hand. The traditional shape with substantial edges ensures the bat performs consistently across the full face, not just the sweet spot.

The treble spring 6-piece handle provides superior shock absorption and strength through long innings, reducing fatigue and vibration on contact. As with all Grade 1 English willow bats, knocking in before match use is required — our bat preparation service handles this before dispatch if selected at checkout. The Krunch 1.0 is a top-tier option at its price point and one of DSC's most popular models worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

The DSC Krunch range spans from entry-level through to the top-tier 1.0. The lower the number, the higher the willow grade and specification. The Krunch 1.0 is the flagship of the range — Grade 1 English willow, extended power zone and treble spring 6-piece handle — making it the top-tier option for serious club and league players.
Yes — the DSC Krunch range is built around the David Warner playing profile. DSC has been closely associated with David Warner, and the Krunch line reflects his preference for a mid-to-low sweet spot, curved blade and explosive power through the drive zone. The Krunch 1.0 is the top expression of that profile.
Yes — all English willow bats require knocking in before match use. If our bat preparation service is enabled, we oil, machine-knock and fit a scuff sheet before dispatch so it arrives ready to play. If preparing it yourself, start with light oiling, leave overnight, then progress from light to firm knocking over several sessions.
Yes. Select an extra grip in the add-ons section and we'll fit it to the bat before it leaves us. Available in Gray-Nicolls, GM Terrain and SG Player options.
The treble spring 6-piece handle uses six sections of Singapore cane separated by cork layers, creating a triple-spring compression system. This significantly reduces vibration transferred to the hands on impact — especially on mishits or hard short-pitched deliveries — while maintaining responsiveness and control during normal stroke play.
The Krunch 1.0 is available in weights from 1160 to 1200 grams. The curved profile and extended power zone mean even lighter options generate serious power. Most club players go for the mid-range. Message Yaseer on WhatsApp for a personal recommendation based on your playing style.
