Hammer Steele Cricket Bat - (Kashmir Willow)

I bought this bat recently and played couple of matches with it. Pickup is good but not a light weight bat. It is around 1210 to 1230 gms. So, if you are good with that weight and play hard tennis ball cricket, you can buy this. The grip is good but you need to wear gloves as its uncomfortable to hold in the beginning. One small issue with the bat is with the making - one of the shoulders has rounded edges while the other side is not. Also, in the back one half of the bat has little bit more curve than the other. Seller is responsive and added the scuff tape as I requested. Packaged well and delivered on time.

I came across this Kashmir willow Hammer bat by chance from a team I was playing against. I was surprised at the Shape, balance and how light the pickup is. The hard tennis ball really traveled when hit. Kashmir willow bats harder wood is more suited for hard tennis balls. I wanted to buy it right away but had to wait until the stock became available. I can say these my and team's favorite Kashmir willow bats love that they come fitted with a toe guard! The finishing and attention to details are much better than named brands. I wish they had a scuff sheet but not a deal breaker by any means. I played with these at nets with the hard cricket ball and these bats are no slouch either, although I would still use an english willow cricket bat. Overall an excellent purchase and my top pick for some big hitting with hard tennis balls.

Bat is well balanced and has a light pick up. However stroke is less due to less meat. Ideal for tennis cricket.

Professionally handmade.

I got recommendation from Andrew(CS) to try this bat. I bought without thinking twice. Once the first day of the match it self, can the feel the difference in batting. The balls travelled longer and didn't feel hard for me at all. Many of the shots cleared the boundaries. The oval lower grip is awesome invention. Thanks to CSO for this. Bought another one.

Excellent bat. Bought it loving it

Good bat, worth the money, feels great in the hands and have good ping

First of all recommend cricket online store to everyone for making my shopping experience very smooth. Regarding bat, I bought it after seeing excellent reviews. This bat is excellent for hard tennis ball and really good for power hitting. It's so good that 2 of my friends bought the same bat.

I am happy with the quality of the bat. The sweet spot of the bat talks a lot about how well the bat is crafted.
