ARCTOS FORCE™

PRECISION MEETS POWER

Crafted for players who thrive on timing and precision, the Arctos Force™ blends thoughtful design with powerful performance.

Its mid-low profile, even bow, and rounded POWERCURVE face make it perfect for elegant front-foot play, while still offering the freedom to score off the back foot.

With a light pickup, balanced feel, and medium edges creating a generous sweet spot, the Arctos Force™ delivers consistent control and finesse. A slightly rounded toe completes the design, making it ideal for technically sound players ready to dominate the scoreboard.

Average Weight: 2lb 8oz – 2lb 11oz / 1133–1219g

Bat Features:

Mid-Low Profile – precise front-foot control

Even Bow – smooth pickup and stroke flow

Light Pickup – easy handling for controlled strokes

Medium Edges – balanced sweet spot across the blade

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.
