What things should I look for when buying a new cricket bat?

This is a very important question that needs to be addressed while cricket bat shopping.  Whether you spend $500 or $80,  one should have some questions answered first to be assured that the cricket bat chosen is the perfect fit for you.

The first thing you should ask is what type of wood is the cricket bat made out of?  All Cricket bats are made from a type of wood called Willow.  English Willow is the best type of Willow wood because it’s a lightweight wood, it is shock resistant and it doesn't splinter when hit with a hard cricket ball.  If your budget permits, go for the English Willow.

The next thing to consider is the weight of the cricket bat.  Weight is important!  Most players prefer a medium weight bat.  The most important thing is to choose the weight that feels most comfortable to you!

Another important factor to observe when choosing for your new cricket bat is the density of the bat or softness versus hardness of the bat.  Harder bats tend to last longer because they don’t break as easily but don’t always give you the hitting power you may be looking for.  So consider both of these factors before purchasing your new cricket bat. 

In conclusion, choosing the cricket bat that’s the perfect fit for you is important.  Make sure you have all the information you need to make your decision.  Once you make your purchase make sure you pay attention to cricket bat care.
