If you're looking for the best size 6 cricket bat for your young cricketer or an intermediate player, you've come to the right place. At Kingsgrove Sports, we have a fantastic range of size 6 cricket bats to meet your needs.
A cricket bat size 6 generally suits children between 5'3" and 5'5" in height, as well as intermediate players who are not yet used to long blade cricket bats. How long is a size 6 cricket bat? Well, the size refers to the length of a size 6 cricket bat’s blade, which is generally around 27 inches or 69cm. This makes it a great option for younger players who are still developing their batting skills and need a lighter, shorter bat to swing easily. However, height isn't the only factor when selecting the right bat size.
At Kingsgrove Sports, our expert staff can provide guidance based on your child's age, height, strength, batting technique and personal preference. We'll help you find the perfect balance of size, weight, profile/shape, willow type and brand to match their skills and your budget.
