Bats for players who go after the bowling

If your first thought when the ball is short is the boundary rather than the single, this is the shelf. Thick edges give you more bat to hit with, laminated double and triple blades push more mass behind the ball, and a mongoose profile shortens the blade so the swing comes through faster. Every one is cut to the weight you ask for.

What makes a bat an attacking bat

Three things, and none of them is the sticker. Edge thickness decides how much of a mishit still carries. Where the weight sits decides whether the bat comes through the line or has to be dragged. And the pressing decides whether the face survives a season of it. A bat that hits hard and cracks in a month is not a power bat, it is a soft one with a big edge.

Do you need a heavy bat to hit hard

No, and this is where most players go wrong. Bat speed matters more than bat weight for a tennis ball — a 750g bat you can swing through the line beats an 880g bat that arrives late every time. Pick the heaviest bat you can still swing properly, not the heaviest bat you can lift.

Common questions

What is a tennis ball cricket bat?

A tennis ball cricket bat is a bat built for the lighter tennis ball used in street, gully and club cricket, rather than a hard leather ball. It is lighter, needs no knocking in, and is usually made from Sri Lankan wood, Kashmir Willow or Poplar.

How much does a tennis ball cricket bat cost in India?

A proper wooden tennis ball cricket bat costs between ₹950 and ₹3,500 in India. Toss Sports bats run from ₹950 to ₹2,999 direct from our Chennai workshop, without a distributor margin.

Do tennis ball cricket bats need knocking in?

No. Knocking in compresses the face against a hard leather ball, and a tennis ball never applies that load. Keeping the bat dry and taping the toe matters far more.

Which wood is best for a tennis ball bat?

Sri Lankan (Ceylon) wood is best for the hard or medium tennis ball because it is denser. Kashmir Willow suits the soft ball with faster pickup, and Poplar is the affordable choice for beginners.

What weight bat is best for tennis ball cricket?

Most adults suit 750g to 850g. Lighter than 750g favours timing and fast hands; heavier than 850g only makes sense if you can still swing it through the line late in an innings.

Can I get a cricket bat made to my own weight?

Yes. Because we shape the bats ourselves in Chennai, you can specify a target weight, scoop style and colour when you order, and we pick a cleft to match.

Where can I buy a cricket bat in Chennai?

Toss Sports makes and sells bats at its workshop in Nesapakkam, Ramapuram, and at Toss The Turf in Kolathur. You can also order on WhatsApp at 91769 95707 for delivery anywhere in India.
