Enter the player’s height to find a practical starting size for a cricket bat. This calculator prioritises SG’s official height bands and the common Size 0–6, Harrow and Short Handle labels used by makers such as SS, DSC, MRF, BDM and SF. Height is more reliable than age alone, but the final choice should still feel controllable in the player’s stance and backlift.
Measure height without shoes, then choose centimetres or feet and inches.
| Starting size | Approximate player height | Where to browse |
|---|---|---|
| Size 0 | Under 122 cm | Junior bats |
| Size 1 | 122–129 cm | Junior bats |
| Size 2 | 130–136 cm | Junior bats |
| Size 3 | 137–144 cm | Junior bats |
| Size 4 | 145–151 cm | Junior bats |
| Size 5 | 152–159 cm | Junior bats |
| Size 6 | 160–164 cm | Junior bats |
| Harrow | 165–169 cm | Youth and Harrow bats |

The junior height bands follow the official SG bat size guide, from Size 0 through Harrow, with Short Handle as the usual adult starting point. SS, DSC, MRF, BDM and SF use many of the same size labels, but exact bat weight and profile can vary by model. You can also check the official DSC size guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this bat English Willow or Kashmir Willow?
This is SG's combo construction: an English Willow face is combined with a Kashmir Willow base. It is a separate product from the standard all-English-Willow HP Ravage and the separate Kashmir Willow versions.
Who is this bat best suited to?
It is suited to junior hard-ball cricketers who want a durable step-up bat with some of the performance characteristics of English Willow.
Which size should I choose?
Use the player-height guide above first. The player should be able to lift the bat into the backlift and complete a controlled swing without the bat feeling too long or heavy.
Does the bat need knocking-in?
Check the bat on arrival and complete the appropriate oiling, knocking-in and protective preparation before facing a hard leather cricket ball unless it has already been professionally prepared.
Will the exact appearance vary?
Yes. Willow is a natural material, so grain pattern, shade and exact pickup can vary between individual bats.
