Cricket Bats

Cricket Bats are traditional and highly prized tools used in the game of cricket.

Cricket Bats are made from willow wood and meticulously crafted to balance power, control, and durability, used in all formats of games from casual to international matches.

The white willow known as Salix Alba is specifically used to make cricket bats due to its ability to provide a good balance of strength and shock absorption.

Willow wood comes from trees in the genus “Salix” known for its distinct characteristics.

Characteristics –

• Colour – Willow wood is usually light in colour, ranging from yellowish-brown to pale and a creamy white to light tan and greyish white, the sapwood and heartwood are not distinctly different in colour contributing to an overall uniform look.
• Grain and Texture – Willow wood has straight, fine, and even texture grains contributing to its uniform appearance.
• Finishing – Willow wood is relatively soft and lightweight and finishes well allowing for a smooth and attractive finish that enhances the appearance.
