GIANT™

MAXIMUM POWER AND PRESENCE

Handcrafted in Australia, the Giant™ is built to the very limits of the new MCC laws, making it one of the most imposing bats in the Gray-Nicolls range. Not for the faint-hearted, it features a rounded POWERCURVE face to enhance the feel of stroke play and is designed for players who like to simply “stand and deliver.”

With a mid profile, even bow, balanced pickup, and massive edges, the Giant™ delivers immense presence and power at the crease.

Key Features:

Mid Profile – balanced performance across the blade

Even Bow – smooth pickup and stroke flow

Balanced Pickup – feels stable yet powerful in hand

Massive Edges – maximum hitting potential

Rounded POWERCURVE Face – enhanced stroke feel and control

Natural Finish – classic handcrafted appearance

Traction Grip – secure and confident hold

Average Weight: 2lb 14oz + / 1340g +

Bat weights are subject to availability. Pictures are for illustration only. Actual bats may look different because each bat is handcrafted and made from natural willow.

Knocking Policy

Knocking-in a bat is an essential process to enhance performance and extend its lifespan. Cricket bats are valuable equipment, and proper care is crucial. A well-knocked bat can reduce the chances of cracking by up to 80%.
Hand knocking with a wooden mallet usually takes around 18–20 hours. To save our customers time and effort, Cricket + Football Shop utilises a fully automated machine to professionally prepare bats. Your bat can be ready in approximately One Hour.


Our machine features modern technology with preset knock settings to ensure complete preparation. Moving rollers cover all key areas — toe, edges, and blade — for even compression. Each new bat receives 15,000 knocks, meaning no further knocking-in is required afterwards.
