Description
DSC Blak 400 Adult English Willow Cricket Bat
~ Grade 1 willow, big edges, built to dominate.
The DSC Blak 400 is a Grade 1 English willow bat for batters who want to take the game on. A powerful profile with large edges and a generous sweet spot means good contact travels and edges still carry, while a pronounced bow keeps the pick-up quick for its size.
DSC (Delux Sports Company) has been hand-making cricket bats in Batala, Punjab for decades, and its willow is trusted by international batters including David Miller and Usman Khawaja. Every DSC bat we sell is sourced through authorised channels and shipped from our US warehouse.
Why Players Choose the Blak 400
Grade 1 English willow
Top-grade cleft with straighter grains, chosen for performance and a crisp ping straight off the shelf.
Massive edges at the drive zone
Traditional shaping concentrates wood where the ball is struck most, so drives through the line come off with real power.
Treble-spring handle and pronounced bow
The handle absorbs shock on full-blooded shots, and the bow gives a light, balanced pick-up.
