Kookaburra Rapid 6.5 Force Cricket Bat (2026)

• 6.5 Force Grade (Pro Shield Face with Natural back) – these bats are similar in quality to the 6.4 but have heavier blemishes to the back of the bat making them unattractive to sell with the natural back – by applying a coat of paint to the back it allows us to produce an excellent entry level bat giving players on a limited budget to enjoy the performance benefits of English Willow at a low price.

• The Kookaburra Rapid 6.5 Force Cricket Bat delivers the same lightweight design and dynamic performance that define the Rapid range, now in a durable, entry-level English Willow construction. Featuring a Pro Shield face and painted back for protection and style, this bat maintains the iconic mid sweet spot and effortless pickup of the Rapid family. Perfect for developing players or those who value speed, control, and reliability at the crease.
