Vector 500 Cricket Bat

Size: SH (Short Handle) D&P Cricket’s Vector 500 bats are made from the grade 3 & 4 English Willow. Excellent hitting power. ‘Value-for-money’ option. Suitable for amateur cricketers. PLEASE NOTE: D&P Cricket bats no longer come ready prepared. Bat preparation is an optional add-on. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: English Willow bats carry no guarantee unless they are prepared correctly. As a bare minimum for new bat preparation, D&P Cricket recognises a correctly prepared bat as having been professionally oiled and knocked-in or as having been professionally knocked-in and fitted with an anti-scuff. We offer the following two preparations for online purchases of new bats, more options are available via the shop email [email protected] Option 1: Basic Preparation • Machine knocked-in • Fitted with a toe guard to protect the toe • Fitted with anti-scuff to protect to ball striking blade. Option 2: Advanced Preparation (This option takes a few days longer, 4-5 working days plus courier time) • Oiled and knocked-in by hand • Fitted with either a fitted or poxy toe guard to protect the toe • Fitted with anti-scuff to protect to ball striking blade. INITIAL USE: New bats will still need to be played in, even with the correct preparation, before being used in a competitive game or practice situation. It is highly recommended to first have a few gentle practice sessions with old balls to work in the bat. And for the player to have this bat bonding period before using it in a match. *** BAT AND GLOVE SPECIAL *** BUY a Vector 500 cricket bat and GET 20% OFF Hybrid II batting gloves!
