Each bat is lightweight with a lightweight pick-up, helping junior cricketers play their shots freely, without impacting their technique, while still enjoying the satisfying ping of genuine English willow.

These bats are hand-pressed, hand-shaped, and finished using traditional methods. Whether you're a top-order anchor or middle-order smasher, you'll love the control, balance, and ping. A top choice for players who want the best for less.

Butterfly willow refers to a natural cosmetic stain in English willow that doesn't affect performance. It often occurs in clefts that could be classified as higher grades, but due to appearance alone, are offered at a lower price. This makes butterfly willow an excellent choice for cricketers who want top-quality bats at better value.
Grade 1 willow is visually flawless with straight grains and no blemishes. Butterfly Grade willow may have visible stains or marks, but it still offers similar performance. Many players prefer butterfly willow because you get a high-performing bat for a significantly lower price.
Yes, butterfly willow is ideal for junior cricketers. It provides a lightweight pick-up, great ping, and exceptional balance, all important for young players developing their skills. It also allows parents to buy a high-performing bat without overspending on visual perfection.
Butterfly stains are a natural discolouration caused by mineral absorption or stress in the tree over time. They often form a butterfly-wing shape across the blade. While they change the bat's appearance, they don’t impact performance, in fact, some bat makers believe they make the wood slightly harder and more durable.
Absolutely. Butterfly Grade English Willow Cricket Bats are a great option for club cricketers who want high-level performance without paying top-tier prices. These bats are made from the same English willow as higher grades, offering great ping, balance, and durability.
