DSC Blak 11 Cricket Bat
The DSC Blak 11 Cricket Bat is built for cricketers who want strong all-round stroke play with the confidence to attack from both the front and back foot. Designed for club, representative and developing players, it suits match play and high-performance training across New Zealand conditions.
Endorsed by New Zealand international Rachin Ravindra, the DSC Blak range combines a powerful profile with a balanced pickup, giving batters the ability to generate power while maintaining control through the shot.
Built for Confident Stroke Play
The DSC Blak 11 features a full blade profile, thick edges and a mid swell that supports a wide range of scoring options around the wicket. Whether you're driving through the covers, working the ball off your pads or playing off the back foot, the bat delivers consistent response through the middle.
Its balanced pickup helps create faster bat speed without feeling heavy in the hands. This is particularly valuable when facing quicker bowling or rotating strike during longer innings.
Handcrafted from Grade 1 English Willow, the Blak 11 offers excellent performance, strong ping and reliable feel across the face of the bat. The Dynamic Sweetspot is designed to maximise performance from the middle, helping players achieve cleaner ball striking and better energy transfer.
Performance in NZ
The mid swell profile makes this cricket bat well suited to New Zealand pitches where players need versatility across different surfaces and match situations. It performs effectively for batters who play both attacking and controlled innings.
The traditional blade length provides a familiar setup at the crease, while the duck bill toe helps improve weight distribution for a lighter pickup without sacrificing profile size.
