New Balance BURN-800 English Willow Cricket Bat – 6

Every batter knows that there is a special spot on a bat where the shot feels best. It sometimes feels so good that there is almost no sensation at all that the bat hit the ball.

The sweet spot on a cricket bat is defined as the point where the ball receives maximum acceleration. Some players prefer crickiet bats with a large bow whereas others don’t.

Increasingly, professional players’ preference is for a larger bow and thicker edges to better meet the rigors of the modern game. The size of the bow can have an impact on the pick-up of the cricket bat, as an increased bow can often result in the cricket bat having a heavier pick-up. Some bows are higher or lower down the bat depending on batsman’s hitting style, or to reflect the pitches which you play on.

MATERIALS

ENGLISH WILLOW:

This is a soft, fibrous timber. This type of willow is the preferred choice for the majority of bat manufacturers due to its high-performance affect when striking the ball. Regardless of type however, willow will become damaged and prone to breakages over time. The cricket bat can become scarred, bruised and dented due to the nature of the game and the frequent, high intense impacts of the ball hitting the cricket bat.
