Brief Description:

The BAS Vampire cricket bat series, often dubbed the “Vampire Retro” or Player/Exploder Edition, strikes a compelling balance of heritage style, premium English willow, and modern design intent. Favored by both serious club players and semi-pros, these bats cater to power hitters seeking explosive stroke play with precise pickup.

🌳 Willow & Grade

• Top-tier versions boast Grade 1+ English willow, while club editions use Grade 2 or Grade 4—all hand-selected and air-dried for optimal moisture, durability, and rebound.
• Grain structure ranges from 6–10 straight grains, ensuring reliability and a pure hitting face.

🧱 Profile & Power

• Thick edges (38–40 mm) and a high spine generate a deep sweet spot, ideal for boundary clearing.
• Bat profiles vary: mid-level bulge for freestyle stroke-making in vintage editions, while the Player/Exploder variants adopt a duckbill “dolphin” taper for lighter pickup and enhanced control.

🔧 Handle & Pickup

• Equipped with Sarawak cane handles—9 to 12-piece constructions—these bats provide robust shock absorption and improved stroke control.
• Weight ranges from 1140–1220 g (approx. 2 lb 7 oz to 2 lb 10 oz), with the Exploder edition offering feather-touch pickup near 1200 g .

🎯 Design & Extras

• Visually, Vampire bats blend wild retro graphics—orange or natural face—with minimalist branding and branded padded covers for protection.
• Practical touches include toe protectors, mid-level bulges, toe binding, and minimal concaving—crafted to help both front-foot drives and improvisational plays.

📣 Community Praise

• Reddit users consistently highlight the sweet spot and perfect balance:
  

  “The BAS has the sweetest sweet spot that ever sweeted, and perfect balance. You don’t swing it so much as place the sweet spot…”.

• Users note the bats “feel lovely and great ping… edges still go quickly to boundary”—a testament to performance and longevity.

🔍 Final Verdict
The BAS Vampire line excels in delivering classic flair combined with performance-driven specs:

• High-grade English willow (Grade 1+/2/4)
• Thick edges & deep bulge for explosive hitting
• Featherweight pickup (~1200 g) with Sarawak cane comfort
• Retro yet clean aesthetics with protective cover
• Balanced value across editions—from club players to high-end enthusiasts

Ideal for batsmen who cherish crisp middle-ground drives and boundary clearance, the Vampire series offers pro-level feel without A-brand premiums—a powerful pick for both aspiring and established players.
