Description
DSC Intense Zeal Junior / Youth Kashmir Willow Cricket Bat
~ Mid-blade punch for young batters who play off both feet.
The DSC Intense Zeal is a Kashmir willow junior bat with a mid-positioned sweet spot, so it rewards drives off the front foot and pulls and cuts off the back foot alike. It is a step up from basic tennis-ball bats for juniors who are getting serious about their batting.
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 Intense Zeal
Mid-blade profile
The sweet spot sits in the middle of the blade, giving an all-round response that suits juniors still finding their game.
Shock-absorbing handle
A treble-spring cane handle soaks up vibration on impact, which young hands notice most on cold days and mistimed shots.
Built to last
Clear face tape and a toe guard protect the blade from cracking and moisture during long academy sessions.
