Where does the CA Pro 12000 sit in the CA Pro range?

The Pro 12000 sits above the 10000 and just below the 15K/15000 tier in CA's Pro range. Aimed at club and county-level cricketers wanting a more refined blade without the flagship price tag.

What is Glass Protek technology?

Glass Protek is CA's proprietary face treatment applied at the factory. It reinforces the willow surface, protects against early cracking, and extends the lifespan of the bat.

Does the CA Pro 12000 need knocking in before use?

Yes — all English willow bats require knocking in before match use. If bat preparation is enabled we oil, machine-knock and fit a scuff sheet before dispatch so it arrives ready to play.

Can I add a replacement grip before dispatch?

Yes. Select an extra grip in the add-ons section and we will fit it before the bat leaves us. Available in Gray-Nicolls, GM Terrain and SG Player options.

How do I choose the right weight for the CA Pro 12000?

Most club players opt for between 2lb 7oz and 2lb 10oz. The 12000 carries well at heavier weights for power players; lighter options suit stroke-makers who prioritise timing. Message Yaseer on WhatsApp for a personal recommendation.

About this bat

The CA Pro 12000 is a step up from the 10000 in CA Sports' English willow range — a bat aimed at club and county-level cricketers who want noticeably more from their willow without stretching to the higher-grade flagships. Positioned just below the Pro 15K and 15000 tier, the 12000 offers a more refined blade profile and stronger overall build, making it a natural progression for players developing their game at competitive club level.

The blade features a mid-to-low sweet spot with robust edges and an expertly crafted profile designed to generate power through the line. The full-profile build maximises the playing surface for front-foot stroke play, while the cane handle with CA Pro grip absorbs vibration and maintains control throughout long innings. Pick-up is well-balanced and the bat carries its weight well on contact.

CA's Glass Protek technology is applied to the face at the factory, reinforcing the willow surface and protecting against early cracking. As with all English willow bats, oiling and knocking in is required before match use — where bat preparation is enabled, we complete this fully before dispatch so the bat arrives ready to play. The bat ships with CA's 3D embossed stickers and a protective bat cover.
