• The SS GG Smacker English Willow Cricket bat -SH is made from good quality English willow bat wood, specifically from a variety of white willow called cricket bat willow.
• This variety of willow is used as it is very tough and shock-resistant, not being significantly dented nor splintering on the impact of a cricket ball at high speed.
• The face of the bat is covered with a protective film.
• All SS bats are pre-knocked by an automatic machine to get the best performance during the game.
• Most bats are ready for immediate use and but may require additional knocking-in to allow the soft fibers to strike a hard new cricket ball.
• Knocking-in involves striking the surface with an old cricket ball or a special mallet.
• This compacts the soft fibers within the bat and reduces the risk of the bat snapping.
• The bat may also need raw linseed oil, which fills in the gaps between the fibers.

How to Make a Cricket Bat?

• Making cricket bats has been a special skill since cricket began.
• The finest bats made from white Kashmir / English willow preferably grown in Essex or Suffolk,
• where the climate and conditions produce wood renowned for its consistent and narrow grain, its density, and color.
• Handle – made from strips of cane interspersed with strips of rubber to give strength and cushion impact for the batter
• Shoulder – a ‘dead’ area of the bat blade not favored by batters to strike the ball
• Blade – gives the overall batting surface weight and strength
• Toe – curved to prevent the blade edge ‘catching’ the pitch during a stroke
