Every spec changes how the bat behaves in your hands. This guide explains what each decision actually means.
6 topics covered
Size · Weight · Handle · Sweet Spot · Willow Grains · Add-Ons
↑ Tap right to begin
01 · Bat Size
Find your size.
Bat length affects your reach, pick-up speed, and where the sweet spot sits relative to your stance.
| Size | Height | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Harrow | 5'6"–5'8" | 32¾" |
| Short Handle | 5'8"–6'2" | 33½" |
| Long Blade | over 6'2" | 33¾" |
| Long Handle | over 6'2" | 34¼" |
| LB & LH | over 6'4" | 34½" |
Most players: Short Handle is the universal standard at all professional levels.
02 · Weight
Weight is not what you think.
Dead Weight
What the scales say
A bat can be 1240g and still feel light if weight sits in the right place.
Balance Point
Where the weight lives
Weight in the blade plays heavy. Weight toward the handle plays light.
Pick-Up Feel
What your hands feel
Dead weight + balance point + grip weight combined.
02 · Weight continued
What weight suits you?
Under 1190g
Light Weight
T20 specialists, wristy players, sub-continental pitches.
1160–1220g
Mid-Light
Versatile — covers most formats and surfaces.
1190–1250g
Mid-Power
The professional standard. Best balance of speed and power.
1220–1300g
Power
Finishers and anchor batters. Maximum kinetic energy at impact.
03 · Handle
Shape & construction.
Shape
Round · Semi-Oval · Oval
Round: wrist freedom. Semi-Oval: alignment, most popular. Oval: full face control.
Construction
4 · 6 · 12 Piece Cane
4-piece: max ping. 6-piece: pro standard. 12-piece: max shock absorption.
Vibration: If your hands sting after edges, move to 6 or 12-piece cane.
04 · Sweet Spot
Where you make contact.
Low
Sub-continental pitches
India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh. Low bounce. Drives, sweeps, pulls.
Mid
All conditions
Most versatile. Wide hitting window across all formats.
High
UK / Australia / SA
Pace and bounce. Back-foot punches, pulls, hooks.
Extended
Maximum coverage
Wide sweet zone for players who face varied conditions.
05 · Willow Grains
What is a grain?
One year of willow growth — a vertical line on the bat face. Number and straightness define quality.
12+
Straight grains on every Alpha bat
More grains = older, denser willow. Denser fibres compress and rebound faster. Straight grains mean no dead spots.
06 · Add-Ons
All free. All meaningful.
Oiling
Raw linseed hydrates fibres. Prevents cracking. Over-oiling deadens the wood.
Additional Knocking
5,000+ extra machine cycles. Arrives closer to match-ready.
Double Grip
Adds ~20g at handle only. Heavier bat picks up lighter.
Face Tape · Toe Guard · Engraving
Tape protects face. Toe guard blocks moisture. Engraving carved into the blade — max 10 chars.
The Alpha · Wolfer Sports
Now you know your bat.
Every Alpha is hand-picked, hand-crafted, and built to your exact specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions | FAQs
Customisation, delivery, sizing and everything else before you order.
You can choose bat length, weight, handle shape, handle type, sweet spot position, toe shape, edge profile, grip type, and add-ons such as knocking, oiling, face tape, toe guard, double grip and laser engraving.
Under 1190g suits light pick-up and quick hands. 1190–1220g is the most balanced range for all-format players. 1220–1250g is better for power hitters and players who want more mass behind the ball.
Low sweet spot suits front-foot players and lower-bounce pitches. Mid sweet spot is ideal for all-round use. High sweet spot is best for back-foot players and faster pitches in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
Short Handle is the most common choice. Long Handle is better for taller players. 6-piece cane gives a softer feel and better shock absorption, while 12-piece cane offers more vibration control and stability.
Yes. We can shape the bat for a lighter pick-up, fuller blade, or more top-weight depending on your style. Share your height, batting role and current bat preference on WhatsApp and we will guide the balance to suit your game.
Yes, always. Before production starts, we share cleft images on WhatsApp for approval. If you want a different cleft, we can suggest alternatives before the bat is made.

Yes. We ship worldwide, including India, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, UAE and Europe. If your country is not listed at checkout, contact us on WhatsApp and we will confirm shipping options.

Yes, we regularly ship to all of those regions. If you are ordering from another country, we can still check availability and estimated transit time before you buy.
