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 shop@dpcricket.co.za

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.
