Unique to the industry, Gray-Nicolls grow only the

finest English willow for the production of their

cricket bats. Salix Caerulea or Alba Var varieties are grown

and harvested by the Company in a willow replenishment

programme pioneered more than 50 years ago.

Clefts are air dried for approximately six weeks to

Ensure perfect moisture content and the very best

performance. Every aspect of the bat making

process is very carefully overseen to guarantee a

product of excellent quality.

All bats are given a final quality control inspection.

Performance is tested using a Lignum Vitae

mallet. In this way, the world renowned quality and

performance of Gray-Nicolls bats is ensured.
