Description About SS cricket Bat: The SS Custom English Willow Cricket Bat – Harrow 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 covered with a protective film. All SS bats pre-knocked by a automatic machine to get best performance during 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.
