- Use our page 'Pick the cricket bat for you' to establish the type of bat you are looking for. This page describes how weight, grain, pick-up and willow source can be used to your advantage, in purchasing and in play.
- Ensure that you purchase a bat that clearly lists the willow source - if the description does not clearly state 'English' willow, an alternative (and usually inferior) source is likely. We recommend non-English willow for lower grade cricket only.
- Ensure that English willow grade is clearly indicated as A Grade 1, A Grade 2, A Grade 3 or A Grade 4. Items listed 'A Grade' incorporate four differing grades and can lead to inaccuracy and disappointment.
- Check that an accurate weight is listed and, if possible, an indication of 'pick-up'. Heavier bats can have a light pick-up when skillfully made.
- Use email to ask any question about your intended purchase.
