About this bat

The Gray Nicolls Classic Pro Performance Range is the premium tier of the Classic family — Grade 1 English willow with the same iconic mid-high profile, big edges and generous spine that has been trusted by international players for over a decade. The Pro Performance arrives pre-prepared and knocked in, putting it closer to match-ready than any standard bat off the shelf.

The blade features a mid blade with exaggerated spine and a large edge profile, delivering a feather-light pick-up with an elongated sweet spot. The upgraded Pro Semi Oval handle provides a refined, responsive feel over the standard Players grade, and the TRACTION PRO grip delivers high-performance maximum grip throughout long innings. The Powercurve semi-rounded face and classic rounded toe suit all-round stroke players who want to dominate both front and back foot.

Only final match preparation is needed before your first competitive innings — apply a light coat of linseed oil to the face and complete a short final knock before stepping out. Trusted by international players across all formats. Grade 1 English willow.
