Why a plastic bat for tennis ball cricket
Tennis-ball cricket is played on concrete, matting, sand and turf, often in the rain and usually with a bat that lives in a car boot. Plastic handles all of that: it doesn't absorb water, doesn't need oiling or knocking in, and won't crack when someone hits a stone. For gully games, society tournaments, beach cricket and kids learning to bat, it is the sensible blade — keep the willow for the matches that matter.
Choosing a size and weight
Full size (roughly 34 inches with a 4.5-inch blade) suits adults and teenagers; shorter sizes suit juniors. Heavier heavy-duty models give you more punch against a hard tennis or taped ball, while lighter ones help younger players get the bat through the line. If you play mostly with a soft tennis ball, go lighter — you're timing, not muscling.
Frequently asked questions
Is a plastic bat good for hard tennis ball cricket?
Yes — our heavy-duty full-size plastic bats are made for hard and taped tennis balls. For the most serious tape-ball play, many players still prefer a Kashmir willow tennis bat for the extra punch.
Do plastic cricket bats need knocking in?
No. They're ready to use straight away — no oiling, no knocking in, no anti-scuff sheet.
Are plastic bats suitable for kids?
They're ideal. Light, unbreakable in normal play and safe on hard ground, which is why they're the usual first bat for young players.
