Made from the grade 3 & 4 English Willow. Excellent hitting power. ‘Value-for-money’ option. Pre-oiled & knocked- in. Includes toe guard & anti-scuff. Suitable for amateur cricketers. PLEASE NOTE: D&P Cricket bats no longer come ready prepared. Bat preparation is an optional add-on. Basic Preparation • Machine knocked-in • Fitted with a toe guard to protect the toe • Fitted with anti-scuff to protect to ball striking blade. New bats will still need to be played in, even with the correct preparation, before being used in a competitive game or practice situation. It is highly recommended to first have a few gentle practice sessions with old balls to work in the bat. And for the player to have this bat bonding period before using it in a match.
