The Difference Between Cricket Handle Types
Introduction to Cricket Bat Handles Explained
Cricket, a sport cherished and played globally, is as much about skill and technique as it is about the right equipment. A crucial element in a cricket bat that often goes unnoticed is the handle.
At Trogon Cricket, we understand the importance of the perfect handle for every player. Cricket bat handles come in various types, and selecting the right one can significantly impact your game.
Understanding Handle Composition: Singapore Cane and Rubber
We craft our handles with a blend of Singapore cane and rubber. This combination is not by chance but by design. The Singapore cane provides the essential rigidity and strength, while the rubber inserts are crucial for shock absorption.
When a cricket ball hits the bat, the impact generates vibrations, and the rubber in the handle helps mitigate these, offering a more comfortable and controlled batting experience.
Types of Handles at Trogon Cricket
The 12-Piece Cricket Bat Handle: Premium Choice for Durability
Our 12-piece handle is the epitome of quality and endurance. Preferred by players wielding our Players or Players Pro bats, this handle is designed for longevity. Its numerous pieces ensure a stiffer structure, maintaining strength over prolonged use.
The Versatile 6-Piece Cricket Bat Handle
The 6-piece handle strikes a balance between quality and adaptability. This handle, commonly paired with our Grade 1 and Butterfly willow bats, is also our go-to choice for bat repairs. It offers a reliable performance for various playing styles.
The Flexible 4-Piece Cricket Bat Handle
For those seeking a more flexible option, our 4-piece handle is the ideal choice.
It's the standard for all our Grade 2 cricket bats and is known for its quicker adaptation to flex during play, suitable for dynamic batting styles.
Customizing Your Grip: Handle Shapes for Different Playing Styles
Cricket Bat Round Handle: For the Back-Foot Player
The cricket bat round handle is tailored for players who prefer playing off the back foot. Its uniform height and width at the bottom aid players who rely heavily on their bottom hand.
This handle type facilitates a strong grip and swift movements for back-foot shots.
Cricket Bat Semi Oval Handle: The Best of Both Worlds
The cricket bat semi-oval handle is for players who oscillate between front-foot and back-foot play. Its slightly taller height and rounded sides offer a comfortable grip that doesn't compromise on flexibility for cross-bat shots.
This handle is the embodiment of versatility in batting and helps reduce the bat swivelling in your hand when hitting the ball.
Cricket Bat Oval Handle: For the Front-Foot Dominant Player
The cricket bat oval handle is perfect for front-foot players. Its taller and narrower shape at the bottom ensures that the bottom hand stays less dominant during straight bat shots. This handle shape allows for precision and control, particularly for front-foot play.
Global Craftsmanship: A Diverse Approach to Handle Making
Cricket bat making is an art practiced by craftsmen worldwide, each with its unique approach. Despite the differences in techniques and styles, the goal remains the same - to produce a handle that enhances the player's performance.
At Trogon, we respect and acknowledge these diverse methods, understanding that they all contribute to the rich tapestry of cricket equipment craftsmanship.
