DSC BLAK 99 Junior Cricket Bat
The DSC BLAK 99 Junior Cricket Bat is designed for young cricketers looking for a reliable English willow cricket bat as they develop their game. Built from Grade 5 English Willow, it suits junior club cricket, school cricket and age group competition where players need a balance of power, control and forgiveness.
Part of the DSC BLAK range endorsed by New Zealand international Rachin Ravindra, the BLAK 99 offers a player friendly profile that helps developing batters build confidence at the crease.
Built to Support All Round Shot Making
The BLAK 99 features a full profile combined with a duckbill toe, creating a shape that balances power with a comfortable pickup. This allows younger players to generate bat speed while maintaining control through their shots.
A mid swell profile creates a versatile hitting area suited to both front foot and back foot play. Whether driving through the covers or playing off the back foot, the balanced shape helps players adapt to different match situations and bowling styles.
The dynamic sweet spot provides a forgiving response across the blade, giving developing cricketers more confidence when contact is not perfectly centred. For junior players still refining their timing, this can make a noticeable difference during training and matches.
