NK Sports Hitmen Kashmir Willow Scoop Cricket Bat
~ A light, scooped-back tennis ball bat built for quick hands and clean hitting.
The NK Sports Hitmen is a Kashmir willow scoop bat made for hard tennis ball cricket. Its scooped back takes weight out of the blade, so the bat picks up fast and stays easy to swing through a full innings. At a Very Light 2lbs 4oz to 2lbs 6oz, it suits batters who rely on bat speed and timing rather than brute weight.
With a 34-inch overall length and an 11.5-inch handle, the Hitmen sits comfortably in the hands of most adult players and works well in weekend leagues, tape ball games and tournament play.
Why Players Choose the Hitmen
Scooped back profile
Wood removed from the back of the blade lowers the overall weight while keeping a full-width face. The result is fast pick-up and quick wrists through the shot.
Very Light weight band
At roughly 1020 to 1080 grams, the Hitmen is easy to control on short-pitched deliveries and lets you react late to pace off a hard tennis ball.
Full 4.25-inch face
The wide blade gives a generous hitting area, helping you middle more balls and carry the ball over the infield.
