Players Replica Grade Willow
These bats are crafted from the same top-tier clefts Kookaburra reserve for their pro players. Picked purely for performance—especially standout ping—they’re low-density willow that lets Kookaburra shape them big. The full profiles suit elite specs, and you’ll see clean, straight grains, though some bats may show minor visual marks or touches of redwood.
---------------
Kookaburra use willow sourced in the UK from the World’s leading growers. There are several characteristics that are taken into consideration when grading cricket bats:
-
Performance: Relative to the ping or rebound of the cleft is an integral part of the grading process.
-
Grains: The straightness, and evenness of grains in the willow.
-
Density: Referring to the natural weight of each cleft.
-
Cosmetic: Whether minor or major, blemishes or imperfections—cosmetic or performance-related—are assessed based on their type and where they appear on the bat.
-
Colour: The proportion of sapwood and heartwood (redwood) in the cleft, and any other natural discolouration.
