Which size should I choose?
Pick your size by height and reach. Harrow suits taller juniors and smaller adults (about 5'6"–5'9"), Short Handle (SH) is the standard adult size for roughly 5'9"–6'2", and the long-handle and long-blade options (LH, LB and LB/LH) add reach for players 6'2" and above. A balanced bat you can swing freely through the line will always serve you better than a heavier one.
About the willow grade
The Force Classic is built from premium Grade 1 English willow - clean, straight-grained clefts pressed for a big, responsive middle. This is top-end playing willow for batters who want professional-level power and feel.

Choosing your profile
Every CBP bat comes in five profiles. The profile sets where the spine sits and how the weight is distributed down the blade, which decides where the middle falls and how heavy the bat feels when you lift it. Two bats of the same listed weight can feel completely different because of it.
| Profile |
Middle position |

Spine |
Feel |
| VK (duck-bill) |
Mid to mid/low |
36-40 mm |
60-64 mm |
Lighter pick-up than its dead weight suggests. The profile most of our pros ask for. |
| HLS (high long spine) |
Mid |
36-40 mm |
60-64 mm |
Lighter balance with minimal concaving. |
| CBP |
Mid-low |
39-43 mm |
60-66 mm |
Slightly bottom-heavy, with the biggest edges and spine of the five and medium concaving to balance it. |
| SRT |
Low |
37-40 mm |
60-63 mm |
Bottom-heavy balance with minimal concaving. |
| TTS (toe to spine) |
Mid to mid/low |
37-41 mm |
60-65 mm |
Balanced true to weight, with an extended sweet spot and mild concaving. |
As a rough guide, a low or mid-low middle (SRT, CBP) rewards front-foot players and the slower, lower pitches most of us play on in India, where you are driving and working the ball square. A mid middle (HLS, TTS) suits back-foot play and bouncier tracks. VK is the safe all-round pick if you are not sure.
Care, warranty and delivery
It arrives pre-knocked and ready to play. English willow is softer than Kashmir willow and rewards a bit of care: oil the face sparingly once a season, keep a scuff sheet on the blade, and give the toe and edges a few gentle taps with a mallet before the first match of the year. Covered by a 1-year handle warranty, set out on our cricket bat warranty page. Free shipping across India, usually dispatched within 1 to 2 business days.
