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.
