ProH+ Players Willow
Our most limited grade, and the most sought after, for good reason.
This is low-density players English willow, selected the way an international player would select it. Not for perfect grains, but for the one property that actually matters at the top level: density. It's the same calibre of willow used in Ashes cricket.
Hand-selected and individually crafted, blending modern technology with old-school craft. Limited stock each winter, because timber this rare doesn't come easy.
A bat made for one player. You.

From the Norwood workshop to the Ashes.
I started JK Cricket in 2016, repairing bats in a single-car garage in Adelaide. A decade later, JK bats are in the hands of cricketers worldwide. When I reflect on how on earth, did a small brand get to a stage that is dominated by brands with substantial endorsement budgets that we cant compete with. I realised one thing- its our ability to work 1 on 1 with each individual regardless of what level you are playing. How we work with every cricketer who purchases a JK bat will never change.
Every dimension, dialled to you.
