How to choose a hard tennis bat
Start with a bat explicitly listed for hard tennis cricket, then compare the available size and weight options. Your usual ball, match length and batting style matter more than the edition name alone.
Weight, pickup and balance
Use the listed weight range to shortlist bats. Then consider whether you can repeat your backlift and adjust the face comfortably. A heavier bat is not automatically a better power-hitting choice. Read our pickup versus weight guide.
Profile, willow and pressing
Compare the profile, willow and construction described on each product. Specifications differ between editions. Ask about missing measurements rather than assuming the largest edge, a willow grade or a “ping” claim proves better performance.
Choose for your shots
For attacking play, check that you can accelerate and control the bat. For timing and placement, check comfortable face control and repeatable movement. The playing-style guide explains how to compare.
Can I use a soft-tennis bat with a hard tennis ball?
Do not assume compatibility. Choose the ball type stated for the specific model or ask AV before changing balls.
Which weight should I buy?
There is no universal ideal weight. Check size and the selectable weight range, and ask about the individual bat if you need an exact measurement.
