Puma 2016 evoSpeed 2 Cricket Bat - Junior

EVOSPEED
For the progressive athlete who wants high-performance products that not only improve his game but also score high on design and style. The evoSPEED range maximises performance without compromising on stability and balance. With the perfect mix of light, flex and fit - the evoSPEED design element fits in brilliantly with fast-paced, shorter formats of the game.

The new evoSPEED bat collection sets a new benchmark to deliver high performance hitting power with re-weighted balance and control. By repositioning the bulk of the willow throughout the main hitting area of the blade, along with a slightly flatter face, it has allowed evoSPEED to bolster the thickness of its edges, and combined with an impressive swell to produce a destructive bat.

All top coaches agree with suppliers and manufacturers that choosing the correct size bat is vital for the proper technical development of young cricketers. It is important that the bat is not too long and more importantly not too heavy to hinder correct stroke play and good technique.
