Pow, Pow Pow, CA Power cricket bat

Advantages: Good weight, durable, Higher middle, good value
Disadvantages: protective cover can crack on the bat edges

Like the pick up, for a 2.14lb bat it really does feel lighter than it should. This is mainly thanks to the way the bat is made, I take my hat off to the manufacturer for doing a fine job in that regard. The weight is a perfect balance, it is heavy enough to generate the power you need to get maximum value for your shots without compromising speed and maneuverability to deal with those difficult deliveries such as a fierce yorker which simply needs ...
...a full range of shots from cutting and pulling short deliveries to cover driving and playing short sharp shots such as the leg glance. The bat does not hamper any shot play. But the higher middle does lend itself towards driving. There is generally more power generated, the key is the timing it really is a stroke makers bat, rather than a power hitter. The bat is durable, as long as it is well prepared before use, like with any bat due care should ...

Review of CA Power Cricket Bat

hand crafted english willow

Advantages: perfect weight balance
Disadvantages: must be knocked in very well.

...been a great fan of CA bats. For me they are clearly the best bats, but that is my personal choice because the CA white Gold is Chunkier than your normal Gray Nicholls bat. I find that this bat is perfect for my style of Aggressive play, it is a bullky bladed bat which also encourages the ball to fly of the middle with minimum effort. this is a great benefit for the wristy cricketers who concentrate on snappy shots rather than defensive play. the ...
...i have found with previous CA bats that there was always more weight near the bottom of the bat rather than an equal one, this would lead to alot of edges and miss timed shots. if you play enough cricket you know the importance of timing a ball correctley especially on the front foot. i have actually had two of these CA white gold bats, the first one i learnt that because i decided to use it straight out of the box for a match its didnt do me any ...

Review of CA White Gold

CA gold

Advantages: Wonderfull willow used to make.
Disadvantages: May be a bit heavy overall.

This is a beautifull bat,it is made out of grade 1 english willow, which is one fo the best.From the top of the handle to the bottom it is equally weighted, you may ask why this is important? This is important because if your a top order batsmen it is important that you are well balanced when playing a shot. The bat also makes it easy to transfer balance and allows more control for the batsmen. The only downside of this bat is that it is quite heavy, ...
...for if you play at a high level. This bat is used by world class players such as: Inzamam Ul Haq former captain of the pakistan. If you are an attacking top order batsmen then this is the bat for you, but if your a cautious top order batsmen this may not be the choice for you. ...

Review of CA Gold

Power and quality for a decent price

Advantages: Good for power hitting, value for money
Disadvantages: Not so good for 'touch' players

A few years back, Woodworm were THE cricket supplier. Providing gear to the likes of Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen, their stuff was in demand from every youngster taking up the game. However, it soon became clear that the company may have bitten off a little more than they could chew with their costly sponsorships outstripping profits. They went under and the brand name has now resurfaced under the ownership of online sports equipment supplier, ...
...from abat such as the Woodworm Satellite, which is more balanced. However, for £99 - and cheaper if you can find one of the many discount codes online for the SportsHQ, this is a great value, decent quality bat. I've now gone through my first season with this bat, scoring about 350 runs in 12 matches and it is in great nick - I can see it lasting for a good few years. ...

Review of Woodworm Gold Mega Bite Cricket Bat

The Big Kahuna is the sloggers choice

Advantages: huge middle, slick graphics
Disadvantages: low quality willow, lacks finesse and pickup

havinng owned the bat for the last two seasons and using it almost religiously in this time i feel my review is a good benchmark for looking into buying this cricket bat. The new kahuna cricket bat was realeased prior to the summer o 2008. The kahuna range is very high profile within cricket with pro players using the range such as Australian captain Ricky ponting. I was drawn to the big kahuna by the promise of a big middle and a huge profile on ...
...i was skeptical at first as it was a rather cheap price of £89.99 which for a big bat is bargain. When the bat arrived i was amazed at the sheer size of the blade itself , people were even commenting on the thickness of the edges and middle. The bat weighed in at 2 pounds and 11 ounzes which is alot of weight to throw around in a bat but when you picked it up it was not a struggle so the intial pickup was very nice. In terms of willow quality the ...
