Advantages: Nice power to weight ratio Disadvantages: Grip can feel a little loose
Just bought this bat ready for the new summer season and I must say I?m very impressed.
Weight wise it?s nice and light, although a tad heavier towards the toe, obviously for power purposes although the heavier end allows for a nice heavy swing with less effort in the elbows and wrists.
If the bat is 100% with 0% being by the handle and 100% being the toe. The sweetest spot is at about 80%, although the bat is actually quite thin the sweet spot covers the entire face area around the sweet spot. I think this is because of the flatness of the bat this far down. As most cricket bats have a curve like a road where it?s higher in the middle and curves off towards the edges. Although at the sweet spot it seems to be flatter than anywhere else on the bat.
Grip is very good; the grip provided with the bat is strong enough, although there ...
Advantages: Brilliant middle, nice design Disadvantages: None as yet
After finishing my first season at my local cricket club with no cricket bat of my own, I decided it was about time to buy my own.
After lots of recommendations about different bats I decided to go to the sports store and find out more.
Thats when I stumbled upon an end of season price for the Slazenger V500 Select of £30. Usually this particular bat is £70. I plumped for the Short handle (mainly because it was the only one left in the shop!!).
I wasn't disappointed.
The bat didn't need 'knocking in' due to the protective cover over the front so I was straight in the Winter Nets with it. After a few overs getting used to the bat, I found the middle quite easily. The middle of this bat is not for the faint hearted!! A nice cover drive saw the ball hurtling THROUGH the bottom of the net and towards the far corner of the room ...
Advantages: great contrl of line and length, best used by express pacemen Disadvantages: doesen't swing much
Cricketballs vary in colour from limited overs cricket to test match cricket,but one thing keeps them in a common territory.The are all going to be bowled at the batsmen and the batsmen are going to attempt to hit them.Now coming to the makes of one of the most famous cricketballs.
It comes from the land down under.Yeah! you guessed right,the Kookaburra!!!!!!!
People may have their own reservations but as for me I know the ball once I have held it in my hand.The Kookaburra is one of the most fantastic yet challenging balls to use whether you are bowling with an old ball or new.
It is one of the easiest balls to control yet it does not produce excess of conventional swing with the new.It is one ball once getting rough will make it not only difficult for the batting side to score off but also making it easier for the bowling ...
