🏏 Gray-Nicolls Technique 85 Training Cricket Bat – English Willow Reduced-Width Training Bat

With its 85mm reduced-width blade, this bat encourages players to watch the ball closely, strike through the line and consistently find the middle of the bat.

Choosing a cricket bat comes down to four things: size, weight, willow and how it feels in your hands.
- Size: most adults use a Short Handle bat. For juniors, choose by height, and if they're between sizes, go smaller.
- Weight: pick the heaviest bat you can swing comfortably for a whole innings, not the heaviest you can lift.
- Willow: English willow is lighter and livelier for hard-ball cricket. Kashmir willow is tougher and more affordable, great for a first bat.
- Knocking in: a new English willow bat needs knocking in before you face a leather ball, unless it's sold as Play Now or Match Ready.
