Solid budget bat

Advantages: Price, good middle
Disadvantages: Needs alot of knocking in.

I brought this bat because i dont see the point of spending hundreds of pounds on a cricket bat for village cricket. I knocked it in for about 4-5 hours then had a net, it was very hard on the hands when playing a shot, after that i knocked it in a bit more, for about an hour, took it back into nets and it was much better. I put a second grip on to help with shock absorbing and it also helps alittle with pick up. My katana weighs about 2lb 7 and ...
...like two, its got quite a small profile by todays standards but it does reward you when you middle it. All in all for the money i paid for it i cant complain. the wood is kashmir willow but it is alot better then most grade 4 english willow bats that you would pay 50-60 pound for, there is no knots on the face and no blemishes on the bat at all. I paid 17.95 for mine and for bang for your buck you wont find a better bat. ...

Review of Readers Katana Cricket Bat

Good Woodworm Cricket Bat for a Junior/Beginner

Advantages: Value for money
Disadvantages: Not the best quality

I recommended this bat to a brother of mine, a beginner, with not much experience of the game. I recommened this bat because of its value for money, as a junior or beginner, you don't want to be paying too much money for a bat, as it is all about fun, and not being too serious. As for the bat itself, you get what you pay for, you know when you pay around £20 your not going to get the best bat ever, but for a junior or beginner to the game it would ...
...bat my brother bought still exists now, well worn but he still uses it to this day, around a year or two ago when he bought it, he likes it and hes picky! In review i recommend this bat to all it fits, and i hope this has helped you all in the search of a new cricket bat. Regards, mrcricket. ...

Review of Woodworm Junior Bronze Mega Bite Cricket Bat

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 ...
