Willow grade: Grade 1 (premium hand-picked English willow)
Weight: 2 lb 7 oz to 2 lb 9 oz (approximate; available in custom weights)
Profile: Mid-to-low sweet spot with a slightly traditional spine for controlled power and exceptional feel
Handle: Oval cushioned grip with anti-slip texture; multi-layered cane and rubber construction for balanced vibration dampening

Performance highlights

Power: High stroke reverberation and strong rebound thanks to the Grade 1 willow—excellent for drives and boundary hitting while retaining touch for placement shots.
Pickup: Fast pickup and balanced pick-up point give quick bat speed across all formats.
Balance: Well-balanced between pickup and power; good for players who rotate innings between attack and defense.
Sweet spot: Mid-to-low sweet spot optimized for front-foot drives and controlled back-foot strokes.
Durability: Grade 1 English willow with careful pressing and finishing; reinforced toe and edges to extend playing life.

Who it’s for

Advanced players and aspiring professionals seeking a premium English willow bat with superior feel and power.
Players who prefer a balanced bat with a pronounced middle for both playing on the front foot and picking up the short ball.
Those who want a distinctive matte black aesthetic on a high-performance willow.

Care and maintenance

Lightly oil the face with raw linseed oil before first use (one thin coat), allow to dry 24–48 hours.
Knock-in gently with a mallet for 200–400 softer hits, then move to softer throwdowns before hard match use.
Store in a cool, dry place; avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture.
Re-apply a light coat of oil every 3–4 months of heavy use and repair surface scuffs promptly to protect the willow.
