Q: Bat Weights & Pick Up

A: We weigh our bats without stickers and grips. These will typically add 1-2 ozs to the weight but because most of that is the weight of the grip it provides a counter balance to the weight of the bat, which makes the bat feel lighter.

It's All About The Pick Up! Bat weights are a good start point as to which bat will suit you but don't get hung up on it. Some heavier bats will pick up lighter than those that weigh less. It's all about how the weight is distributed, the balance point on the bat and how it feels in your hands.

Q: Do our bats need knocking-in?

A: Yes all our bats need knocking-in, our bats are pre pressed but still require additional work on the edges and toe. We would advise as a minimum 20 mins on each edge and the toe.

Q: What’s the difference between the bat grades?

A: All our bats are graded in the quality of the willow. Pro bats are the top 1% of handpicked grade 1 English willow, SPS is grade 1 English willow, Player is grade 2 English willow, 5* is grade 3 English willow.

Q: How much bat wax do you need to use on a bat?

A: We recommend you use an amount equivalent a 20 pence piece. This will be enough for the full bat.

For the best results:

  • Sand or wipe the bat down
  • Apply a small amount of wax to the bat with your fingers
  • Buff with a dry cloth
  • All natural ingredients – raw linseed oil and beeswax
