The Deluxe Bat Mallet is used as part of the preparation method for knocking-in a bat. The mallet is used to soften the face of a new cricket to get it ready to play with in the nets or in the match. Ease to hold and use, the mallet has a comfortable handle and is highly durable.
We recommend using the Deluxe Bat Mallet for a couple of hours when the bat is brand new before using the bat against a cricket ball for the first time.
The 'holy grail' of bats is one with a massive profile and a very light 'dead weight' but this is exceptionally hard to find.There is much discussion about heavier bats and massive edge profiles and how these will hit the ball further but we do not totally subscribe to that theory. Clearly, if you choose a lighter bat then you will most likely have to compromise slightly on the thickness of the profile and edge profile but this is not a problem. We all have different physiques and sizes and we strongly believe that to get the best performance out of a bat the most essential element is to choose one that feels the right weight for you, this will help you to time the ball better and ultimately make more runs!It is interesting when a player stipulates that they must have an exact bat weight - if a 2lb 9oz and a 2lb 10oz bat weight were placed in front of the player, it is unlikely that they would be able to tell the difference. We feel 'pick up' is more important than 'dead weight' as the 'pick up' determines how the bat will feel in play – nobody can tell you what the right pick up is for you, or the exact weight you should use – it is a question of what feels right for you.
