The 2026/27 SCC range has landed at Highmark Cricket, and it arrives with serious intent. Born in Australia and now an ICC Accredited Brand, SCC builds its gear around one very famous set of hands: Glenn Maxwell is not just the face of the brand but a co-owner, investor and creative partner, and the flagship SWITCH range carries his name and his fingerprints. This guide walks through all four bat ranges in the new season drop, the kit that matches them, and how to land on the right setup for your game.
Two decisions matter most. The range sets the character of your bat: its profile, its middle and the way it moves through the ball. The size is set by the player's height. Get those two right and everything else follows.

- SWITCH Rush Gold is the sticker set Maxwell uses internationally from July 2026; Galaxy Green is his BBL 16 Melbourne Stars set.

The ranges at a glance
| Range | Character | Profile | Signature look |
|---|---|---|---|
| SWITCH by Glenn Maxwell | Explosive versatility, huge hitting zone, fast hands | Mid-to-low middle, extended profile | Rush Gold (green and gold) or Galaxy Green (green and black) |
| Orion | Total control with power, exaggerated sweet spot | Mid-to-low | Metallic midnight with holographic detailing |
| Assassin | Feather-light 360-degree strokeplay | Mid | Stealth black with gold highlights |
| Mercenary | Full-blooded power hitting, punishes anything short | Pronounced low middle, massive edges | Cherry red and midnight blue |
All four ranges share SCC's semi-oval handle for stability and control through the stroke. The difference is where the wood sits and how the bat asks to be used: Orion and SWITCH concentrate their power low-to-mid for modern strokeplay, the Assassin trades mass for speed, and the Mercenary simply brings more of everything.
Range by range
Change the game
- Middle Mid-to-low, extended profile
- Handle Semi-oval
- Willow English and Kashmir
- Sizes SH, LB, SB, H, 6 down to 0
Co-designed by Glenn Maxwell, SWITCH is built for players who redefine what's possible: balance, intent and explosive versatility. The extended profile creates a huge hitting zone with effortless power transfer, and the finely tuned pickup gives the freedom for fast hands and the creativity to play shots others wouldn't dare. Rush Gold is the green-and-gold set Maxi takes onto the international stage from July 2026; Galaxy Green is his Melbourne Stars set for BBL 16. This is more than a bat; it's a statement.
Command the crease
- Middle Mid-to-low, exaggerated sweet spot
- Handle Semi-oval, cushioned grip
- Willow Premium English, individually handcrafted
- Sizes SH, LB, SB, H
The Orion is crafted for players who demand total control without compromising on power. A sweeping spine profile tapers into a balanced toe for a clean, explosive pickup and lightning-fast hands through the zone. Finished in a metallic midnight palette with holographic detailing, it stands out without shouting. Built for the modern stroke maker who commands every inch of the crease.
Score 360
- Middle Mid profile, slick new shape
- Handle Semi-oval
- Pickup Feather light
- Sizes SH, LB, SB, H
Made for players who strike without warning and score in every direction. The Assassin's refined blade promotes clean rebound and effortless strokeplay, with a feather-light pickup for complete freedom of movement. Finished in stealth black with gold highlights and a bold white SCC logo: understated, lethal, impossible to ignore.
Do damage
- Middle Pronounced low, massive edges and toe
- Shoulders Thick, power through the V
- Face Slightly rounded
- Sizes SH, LB, SB
Not for the cautious. The Mercenary favours full-blooded striking: a pronounced low middle and broad, imposing edges designed to punish anything short. The profile is thick, the pickup is deceptive, and the power is uncompromising. Its cherry red and midnight blue colours reflect exactly who it's made for: bold, fearless, built to disrupt.

Shop all SCC 2026/27 arrivalsThe Maxwell factor
Plenty of brands pay a star to hold their bat. SCC did something different: Glenn Maxwell is a co-owner, investor and creative partner, and his input runs through the brand from product design to storytelling. He doesn't put his name to products lightly, and the SWITCH range is the proof: co-designed around his own demands for balance, intent and explosive versatility.
Two sticker sets tell the story on the field. SWITCH Rush Gold, in Australian green and gold, is the set Maxwell uses on the international stage from July 2026. SWITCH Galaxy Green, in green and black, is the set he carries in BBL 16 for the Melbourne Stars. When you pick up a SWITCH, you are holding the same design language Maxi takes to the middle.
SWITCH is also the most accessible range in the line-up: it is the only SCC range offered in both English Willow and Kashmir Willow, and it runs the full size ladder from junior Size 0 all the way to Long Blade, so the same bat Maxi plays exists for every age and budget. The SWITCH Junior Full Kit extends that further: a Rush Gold junior bat, pads, gloves, kit bag, neck guard and soft ball in one box, in sizes Youth, 5 and 3.
Match your kit to your bat
The 2026/27 range carries the same family names through pads, gloves and keeping gear, so your kit can match your bat from the sticker down.
Batting pads
The ladder runs from the SWITCH Players pads (designed around Maxwell's own movement: lightweight foam, seven-piece cane, tapered top-hat shape) and the Orion Players pads (featherlight, high-density foam, reinforced cane) down to the Assassin Pro and SWITCH 765 for club players and juniors. The Orion Players Combo Thigh Guard covers inner and outer thigh in one streamlined unit. Shop SCC batting leg guards.
Batting gloves
Same story: SWITCH Players (sausage fingers, reinforced inserts, premium ventilated leather palm), Orion Players (hybrid finger construction, multi-layered foam), then the Assassin Pro and SWITCH 765 value tiers, with full-finger and fingerless SCC Batting Inners underneath. Shop SCC batting gloves.
Wicketkeeping
Orion Players keeping gloves (natural leather backhand, octopus grip palm, long cane cuff) and pads lead the line, with the Assassin Pro keeping gloves and pads as the value option, plus Players chamois and Pro cotton keeping inners. Shop SCC keeping gear.
Luggage
The Orion Players Kit Bag is the full travel-ready wheelie with custom dividers; the SWITCH Duffle is a hybrid backpack-wheelie with a dedicated shoe compartment; the Assassin Pro Wheelie covers club and junior players. Shop SCC kit bags.
Accessories and training
SCC bat grips in banded and polygon textures, abdo guards across men's, women's and youth sizes, a timber-and-brass bat cone, and two clever training aids: the Sky Catcher for high-ball fielding practice and the ultra-thin Middling Bat for timing and bat control.
