Cricket Bat Size Guide
Use player height as a starting reference, then check the selected bat’s dimensions, pickup and the player’s control. Age alone does not establish bat size.
The chart below matches the general player-height reference in Bolt’s Size Guide. It describes the player’s height, not physical bat length, and is not a universal standard or a verified fit mapping for every Bolt model.
Cricket bat size chart
| Reference size | Player height (cm) | Player height (in) |
|---|---|---|
| Size 1 | Up to 130 | Up to 51.2 |
| Size 2 | 130–137 | 51.2–53.9 |
| Size 3 | 137–145 | 53.9–57.1 |
| Size 4 | 145–152 | 57.1–59.8 |
| Size 5 | 152–160 | 59.8–63.0 |
| Size 6 | 160–165 | 63.0–65.0 |
| Harrow | 165–170 | 65.0–66.9 |
| Small Adult | 170–175 | 66.9–68.9 |
| Short Handle | 175–183 | 68.9–72.0 |
| Long Blade | 183+ | 72.0+ |
Inches are converted at 2.54 cm per inch and rounded to one decimal. Neighbouring ranges share endpoints; confirm the selected model and the player’s control at a boundary. Long Blade is not the same label as Long Handle (LH).
Pulse Women’s SH: confirmed complete bat length is 32.5 in / 82.55 cm / 825.5 mm. Its listed blade weight is 1050–1100 g. Overall length and blade weight are separate specifications; neither establishes a player-height recommendation. Separate blade and handle dimensions are not specified here.
Composite bat dimensions
Dimensions are model-specific. Exposed handle length runs from the top of the grip to the shoulder shown in the supplied measurement; no blade length is inferred. Thickness is not identified as edge or spine thickness. Confirm the intended ball type with Bolt before ordering; these dimensions do not establish leather-ball suitability or competition approval.

How to choose the right size
- Start with the height reference. Confirm the exact model and the player’s pickup and control; age alone does not establish fit.
- Do not oversize kids. A bat that is too big can slow down hands, reduce control, and make technique harder to learn.
- Check pickup, not only listed weight. Two bats with the same weight can feel different depending on balance and profile.
- SH means Short Handle. Use the reference as a starting point and confirm the exact bat’s dimensions and suitability.
- LH means Long Handle. Confirm the model’s dimensions and suitability; this label does not mean left-handed.
Does this chart apply to tape-ball and tennis-ball bats?
Do not assume the same label has identical dimensions across leather-ball, tape-ball and tennis-ball models. Confirm the intended ball type, actual bat dimensions and pickup for the chosen product.
