Bat Review: Wombat Geometric Pro 5*

"Naturally suits stronger hitters"

wombat_geometric_pro_5_

RRP: £400, Edge: 38mm, Weight: 2lb 10oz

The Wombat Geometric features a striking modern full duckbill profile combined with a mid-to-high sweet spot, clearly aimed at the demands of today’s attacking cricketer. 

Considerable attention has been paid to the pick-up, with shaping designed to balance the substantial blade profile and keep the bat moving smoothly through the hitting arc.

Built with maximum shock absorption in mind, it helps reduce vibration on impact, offering improved comfort.

With a short handle measuring 85centimetres, the Geometric is positioned firmly towards serious cricketers seeking to elevate their game. Its specification and bold shaping reflect a bat built for presence and power rather than subtlety.

Testers widely agreed that the bat feels on the heavier side, meaning it naturally suits stronger hitters who can manage the extra weight. Players without that physical strength may need time to adjust their timing and downswing.

Some noted that while the middle was effective in maximising attacking shots, the blade weight could slightly compromise bat speed on the downswing.

However, those able to generate strong bat speed found the rewards significant, with well-timed strikes travelling at an impressive pace and carrying formidable distance.
