D&P Cricket’s Blade UPP bats are made from the top grade 2 English Willow. Slight bow & balanced pick up. Modern shape with big edges. Suitable for serious cricketers.

PLEASE NOTE: D&P Cricket bats no longer come ready prepared. Bat preparation is an optional add-on. You can select a bat prep as an optional add on product also on the kit specials page.

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 shop@dpcricket.co.za

Option 1: Basic Preparation – https://dpcricket.co.za/product/basic-bat-preparation/
• Machine knocked-in
• Fitted with a toe guard to protect the toe
• Fitted with anti-scuff to protect the blade.

Option 2: Advanced Preparation – https://dpcricket.co.za/product/advanced-bat-prep/
• 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 the 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.
