45–55mm edgesSpine over 60mm — massive sweet spot
9-piece cane handleWave tech grip — excellent feel
1180–1210gBalanced pickup, aggressive profile

Overview

The EM XT Giant is built for leather ball cricket. Made from selected alternative willow that sits between Kashmir and English willow in quality — giving you genuine hitting performance and a proper bat profile without the premium price of English willow. The name gives away the intent: the oversized profile, 45–55mm edges and spine over 60mm are designed to produce a striking sweet spot that translates into serious power on both the front and back foot.

The 9-piece cane handle with ergonomic wave tech grip gives excellent feel and vibration dampening through the hands. At 1180–1210g with a balanced pickup, the XT Giant swings freely and sits well in the hand despite its aggressive profile. Like all natural willow bats, it requires knocking in before match use — but once prepared it’s a durable, capable bat that holds up well through a full season of leather ball play.
