Adult Bat Sizes Explained

Short Handle (SH)

The standard adult size and the most popular choice for most players.

Short Blade (SB)

A great option for players who prefer a slightly shorter overall bat while keeping a full-length handle.

Long Blade (LB)

Designed for taller players who want additional blade length while maintaining excellent pickup.

Small Mens (SM)

Perfect for shorter adults, teenagers and many female players seeking greater control and comfort.

Choosing the Right Bat

Height is a great starting point, but the right bat also depends on your preferred pickup, batting style and personal feel. Every player is different, and the best bat is the one that feels comfortable and inspires confidence at the crease.

Still Unsure?

If you're unsure which size is right for you, get in touch before ordering. We're happy to recommend the best size and shape based on your height, playing style and preferences.

What Makes Every JPGavan Bat Different?

Every JPGavan bat is individually handcrafted by the JPGavan team in Sydney using the same pressing, shaping, balancing and finishing process. The difference between each range is the quality, appearance, density and rarity of the willow—not the craftsmanship. Whether you choose a Performance bat or a Featherblade, every bat receives the same care, attention to detail and commitment to performance.
