Who this bat suits

Designed for players who dominate from ball one — confidence built in, restraint left out. The low swell position sits mass toward the toe, which favours front-foot power hitting over back-foot placement. Massive edges and the sweeping PowerArc profile give it real presence at the crease. The 310mm handle is longer than standard, which suits taller players and helps generate leverage through the shot.

Knocking-in

The GM NOW! finish means no oiling is required. Knocking-in still is. New English willow is soft, and the fibres must be compressed gradually before the bat faces a hard ball — typically six to eight hours across several sessions. Skipping it is the most common reason a bat cracks in its first season, and it is not covered by warranty.

Our Houston workshop will handle it before dispatch. Add Pro Full Knocking, 4–6 day turnaround. The ToeTek toe guard is already fitted.
