Product Description

The Gladiator Edition — Scoop Hard Tennis Cricket Bat for All-Round Players

The Gladiator Edition is Ciel Sports' scoop hard tennis cricket bat, built for players who want a balanced combination of power, timing, and bat speed in hard tennis ball cricket. Crafted from player-grade Kashmir willow with a scoop back design, it delivers lightweight pickup without sacrificing hitting power — making it the most versatile bat in our hard tennis range. Available in 3 sizes, 3 weight options, and two finishes — Natural and Burn — to match every playing style

What Makes the Gladiator Edition Different

While our AK-47 and Killer Editions are built for pure power hitters, the Gladiator is engineered for the player who wants to do everything well. The scoop back removes weight from areas that do not contribute to hitting power, giving you a bat that is easier to pick up, faster to swing, and more forgiving on mistimed shots — without losing the solid feel that player-grade Kashmir willow delivers. Three weight options mean you can also match the bat exactly to the tennis ball weight used in your league or tournament.

Key Features

  • Scoop Back Design — Material removed from the back of the blade for lighter pickup, faster swing speed, and better stroke control
  • Player Grade Kashmir Willow — Hand-selected for superior strength, rebound, and consistent performance with hard tennis balls
  • 3 Weight Options — Choose the exact weight range to match your tennis ball weight — 980–1080g, 1050–1130g, or 1100–1190g
  • 3 Size Options — Available in 34", 35", and 36" to suit different player heights and batting styles
  • Natural & Burn Finish — Choose a classic Natural look or the bold, charred Burn Finish for a distinctive appearance on the field
  • Full Singapore Cane Handle — Multi-piece cane absorbs shock and reduces vibration during hard tennis ball impact
  • Tournament Ready — Built for competitive hard tennis ball leagues, club matches, and colony tournaments
  • 6-Month Warranty — Handle and blade covered against manufacturing defects

Choose Your Finish

Natural Finish — A clean, classic look that showcases the Kashmir willow grain. Ideal for players who prefer a traditional bat aesthetic.

Burn Finish — A premium charred surface treatment that gives the bat a darkened, aggressive look on the field. The same finish is available on our Monster Edition — select at checkout.

Who Is the Gladiator Edition For?

The Gladiator Edition is the right bat if:

  • You are an all-round player who wants both power and stroke control
  • You prefer a lighter pickup and faster swing over raw weight
  • You play across different formats — from quick gully cricket to structured league matches
  • You want to match your bat weight precisely to your league's ball weight
  • You want a choice of finish — Natural for a classic look, Burn for something bolder

If you are a pure power hitter who wants maximum spine weight and edge thickness, the Killer Edition or AK-47 Edition may be a better fit.

Size Bat Length Best For

What Makes It Different

Why the Gladiator Edition Is the Best Scoop Bat for Tennis Ball Cricket

The Gladiator Edition is built around a specific philosophy: the best cricket bat for gully cricket all-rounders should feel light, play fast, and still hit hard. The scoop back design achieves exactly that.

01

Scoop Back Design — The Best Scoop Bat for Tennis Ball Cricket

The Gladiator Edition's curved scoop removes excess mass from the central spine of the back face, redistributing it to the edges and blade perimeter. This creates a bat that picks up dramatically lighter than its actual weight — giving you faster swing speed, quicker shot execution, and better control for both aerial shots and ground strokes. The Gladiator is the definitive scoop bat for tennis ball cricket — and the only scoop design in the Ciel Sports hard tennis range.

Scoop Back
02

Balanced Profile — All-Round Play from Any Position

The Gladiator's balanced profile gives equal weight to both the upper and lower hitting zones — unlike triple blade designs that concentrate mass in three specific zones. This makes the Gladiator the most versatile bat in the range: equally effective on drives, cuts, pulls, and lofted shots. The best cricket bat for gully cricket all-rounders who need to play technically in all areas of the pitch.

Balanced
03

Grade 1 Kashmir Willow — Dense and Resilient

Grade 1 Kashmir Willow gives the Gladiator the dense fibre structure needed for hard tennis ball cricket despite the scoop back reducing overall mass. The willow's natural resilience means the bat maintains its ping and hitting profile across 3,000+ impacts. The scoop design does not reduce the willow grade — it concentrates the remaining mass more efficiently.

Grade 1 KW
04

Light Pickup — Fast Bat Speed Without Sacrificing Power

The Gladiator Edition typically feels 50–100g lighter in hand than its actual weight — a direct result of the scoop back removing mass from the centre spine. Faster bat speed means quicker reaction time, better stroke timing, and the ability to play late defensive shots as well as aggressive aerial shots. For players who have struggled with the feeling of heavy hard tennis bats, the Gladiator is the answer.

Both are excellent cricket bats for gully cricket. AK-47 — triple blade + Fighter Scoop, 44–48mm edges, power-focused. Gladiator — curved scoop + balanced profile, technically versatile.
