Gray Nicolls Fusion 1100 Long Blade Cricket Bat

The Gray Nicolls Fusion 1100 Long Blade Cricket Bat is designed for cricketers who want the power and forgiveness of a full profile bat combined with the extra reach of a long blade. It is particularly well suited to taller players who want a confident setup at the crease.

Made from English Willow and handcrafted in Australia, the Fusion 1100 Long Blade combines proven bat making craftsmanship with modern performance features for today's game.

Built for Reach, Stability and Power

The Fusion 1100 features a full profile construction, retaining more wood through the spine and edges with minimal concaving. This creates a broad sweet spot and increased stability through impact, helping players achieve consistent results across a wide range of shots.

The long blade profile provides additional reach and is often preferred by taller batters or players who like a longer setup when batting. Combined with a light pickup, the bat remains easy to manoeuvre while maintaining the substantial feel many players look for in a full profile cricket bat.

Its mid profile and medium bow create a versatile hitting area that performs well for both front foot and back foot play. Whether you're driving through the covers, working the ball into gaps or looking to clear the infield, the Fusion 1100 delivers a balanced combination of power and control.

The ACCU DRIVE flat face is designed to promote cleaner contact and a more consistent response across the blade.

Why Choose a Full Profile Long Blade Bat?

The full profile design of this bat retains more wood throughout the blade, creating a wider sweet spot and greater stability through impact. Combined with a long blade design, it offers taller players additional reach without sacrificing power or control.

This combination makes the Fusion 1100 Long Blade a strong option for batters who value confidence and power at the crease.
