Yes, Grade 2 English willow is a great choice for serious cricketers looking for quality at a more affordable price. While it may have minor blemishes or slightly fewer grains than Grade 1, it still delivers excellent performance, ping, and durability.
The main difference lies in appearance and grain structure. Grade 1 willow typically has more straight grains and fewer blemishes, while Grade 2 may have some imperfections but performs almost identically in terms of ping and feel. Grade 2 offers superb value for money.
With proper care and regular maintenance, an English willow bat can last several seasons. Trogon bats are pressed and finished by hand to extend their lifespan and ensure consistent performance, whether you’re playing club cricket or in competitive matches.
Our Grade 2 bats come in a range of weights depending on size and style. Adult short handle bats typically weigh between 2lb 8oz and 2lb 11oz, while our junior and academy bats are available in lighter weights (around 2lb 3oz to 2lb 6oz)
English willow is grown specifically for cricket bats and offers superior grain structure, moisture content, and rebound performance. While it's more expensive than alternatives like Kashmir willow, the investment pays off with better control, ping, and bat longevity.
