Grade 1 English Willow

Crickets bats are a natural wooden material thus all have different bat characteristics right from balance of the bat, bat pickup and the number of grains and width of grain. As a rule of thumb,

• The softer (narrow grain) willow has excellent performance qualities but shorter lifespan

• The harder (broader grain) willow tends to last longer but takes time before you get optimum performance from it.

• All bats are graded on performance and made from a natural material so the grain structure can vary.

Grade 1 willow - High quality unbleached English willow. As above but with a slightly broader 6+ grains and sometimes a slight red edge.
