What are boutique bats?

The wider cricket bat marketplace is becoming an increasingly competitive environment and the smaller manufacturers are now able to produce blades that will go toe to toe with the bigger boys. This year’s crop feature familiar names and some lesser-knowns but what is obvious is that the attention to detail with all of these bats is second to none. This test celebrates the smaller manufacturers and allows both us and you, the readers, to see these credible brands in full view.

Kippax Colossus (RRP: £300)

Weight: 2lb 11oz

Edge width: 43mm

A big bat for strong boys (and girls). Jim said: “It’s a chunky blade and quite heavy, but picks up remarkably well.” He also noted its superb sweet spot.” Joe felt “it was an English take on an Indian bat” and “offered really good value when you connect”.

Alex thought it was:  “A good all-round bat for T20 brutes and Last Man Stands.”
