Stanford Blade DC Reserve Edition English Willow Cricket Bat

The new Stanford Blade DC Reserve Edition English Willow Cricket Batis a remake of the famous Stanford Blade DC series, providing the same high quality and value-added features found in all models. Unlike the older model, the Stanford Blade DC Reserve Edition English Willow Cricket Batreserve series provides a larger face area and larger finger holes for comfortable ball striking. In addition, the face is contoured to provide a comfortable grip and the finger holes are deeper for greater control. The bat does not have the rubber grip some of its older ancestors offer, however, which may prove to be an irritant for some players. However, most people seem to prefer the rubber grip on their bats.

Stanford Blade DC Reserve Edition English Willow Cricket Bat line incorporates a smooth transition from the older to the newer models. The blade steel is now a hardened graphite core, offering greater strength and balance for longer excursions and better power transfer for peak performance. In addition, the Stanford Blade DC Reserve Edition English Willow Cricket Bat  is offered in a reserve edition that gives the hitter more power but a shorter stroke with a slightly weaker sweetspot. The third version in the series, the Stainless Steel Reserve, offers a balanced combination of strength and performance.

Stanford Blade DC Reserve Edition English Willow Cricket Bat third version features a one-piece bat with a single rubber grip. Stanford Blade DC Reserve Edition English Willow Cricket Bat bat comes in either a black or a maple wood finish. Like the other models, it incorporates a full-grain maple wood handle fit for long hours of use in all weather conditions. One of the best aspects of this blade is the Stanford’s patented Direct Drive system that allows the blade to spin freely at all speeds without affecting the accuracy of the strike. The one piece design also allows the player to easily transfer the weight of the bat to his swing.
