New Balance Heritage+ Cricket Bat (22/23)

New Balance's Heritage line is the brand's nod to tradition, deep classical cosmetics and an honest, balanced bat that lets the willow do the talking, and the Heritage+ is the upgraded model within it. It's listed across the specialists as Grade 2 English willow, shaped with a mid sweet spot and a long spine that gives a large sweet area and genuine ping. It's a traditional profile for the player who values timing and a balanced pick-up over a big-edged power shape.

This is the 2022/23 model, so it's a current seasonal bat that's between deliveries. It's supplied pre-prepared, though, as with any quality English willow bat, further knocking-in is recommended before facing a hard ball. If you appreciate a classic-looking blade with a large sweet spot and a clean response, the Heritage+ is a quietly excellent bat. Have a chat with the pro shop about availability and what's closest in stock if you can't wait.
