Salix 2012 STRIKE Performance HARROW Cricket Bat

2012 Salix bats are all about performance, all bowed following the shape of the driving area and all benefitting from CTS (contoured turned sanding). They represent the most labour intensive, performance laden, and exquisitely finished bats available today. These are 21st century English handmade bats - fluid yet precise, a hybrid of past skills, modern aesthetics and the determination to drive forward.

STRIKE (. . .a willow section from which saplings are grown)
Based on the Gem (made from 1991, an early short bladed bat, ideally shaped for limited overs) the new Salix Strike is a condensed Pod - fractionally reduced in width and length so the blade morphs out in depth to give a swollen driving area in a compact and punchy shape. The magnified middle and flared edges are further balanced by a slight drop in the shoulder line. It is the perfect transitional bat between sizes, especially as a first senior bat, but will also reward the aggressive player. A magnificently powerful bat with immense speed suited to all formats of the game.

This year, all Players and Grade Ones are natural finish, all Performance and Select grades are workshop prepared.

Workshop preparation
The preparation by Salix which takes the bat to the point of knocking in by the owner. Linseed waxed during finishing then Bat Vaxed at the toe before application of our strong UK made anti-scuff. This gives the bat a sound foundation for the first season with oiling required before the second seasons usage.
