Salix SUPERNATURAL Grade One Cricket Bat

SUPERNATURAL Grade One
The new bat to echo the Torque but with a traditional, gently rounded face, the Supernatural is characterised by more pronounced belt sanding on the spline, blending unnecessary sharpness to create a bat with core strength and stability. The hybrid convex and concave shaping of the profile and spline combine to solidify the core and enhance the bow, resulting in a blade of exceptional power, stability and balance.

Workshop preparation
The preparation by Salix which takes the bat to the point of knocking in by the owner. Bat Wax and Bat Vax are both individually burnished into the wood for supreme initial protection and a finish to match the bats. This gives the bat a sound foundation for the first season with oiling required before the second seasons usage.
