BAT GRADING & FINISHES

THE WILLOW STORY 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 nearly 100 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 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.

1 UNLOADING

5 SHAPING

The willow arrives in Robertsbridge and is cut into roundels. The roundels are sealed and left to dry for a few days.

Our “Master Bat Makers” ensure each bat is shaped to provide optimum balance, pick-up and performance. Bats are carefully sanded and buffed to give them their finished look and feel.

Willow grading is initially based on the cosmetic quality of the cleft. We subsequently combine this early stage grading with a performance grading policy. This means that some minor natural cosmetic timber blemishing may be overlooked on higher grade bats in favour of very strong blade rebound performance. LEGEND Legend represents the premium 1% of available willow, optimum cosmetic quality and strike performance with an outstanding weight to profile ratio. LIMITED EDITION Limited to the best 5% of the willow tree. All white willow, straight grains and a clean hitting area, optimum strike performance, clean strike zone and even grain.

2 SPLITTING

6 PRESSING

Each roundel has its bark stripped and is marked ready for splitting into clefts. A cleft in it’s roughest form is cut and ready for machining.

Each bat is then pressed, compressing the natural fibres enhancing the performance of each bat and providing the blade with its bow.

3 DRYING The cleft is graded at this point and left for 6 weeks to air-dry which reduces its naturally high moisture content.

7 BINDING The handle is then bound and glued to add more strength.

4 HANDLE

8 LABELING

The handle is turned on a lathe to create the perfect shape. Each handle is then fitted into the cleft by hand.

Finally the labels are carefully applied and the grip is fitted.

PLAYERS The best 12% of the tree. Mainly white willow with some minor pin-marks or blemishes. Excellent rebound performance quality, clean strike zone, slight unevenness in grain structure are tolerated. 5 STAR The best 40% of the tree. Up to 50% red willow (which comes from the heart of the tree and is favoured by many of our international players). Strong performing blade with minor strike zone blemishes and some deviation in grain structure tolerated. Bats with very narrow grains (particularly those with a “red” edge) are more likely to have some inconsistency in grain structure (evenness and straightness). All other models are made from the remaining willow which is all grown, felled and processed exclusively by Gray-Nicolls.

HANDLE DEVELOPMENT

AXM is the result of combining tradition with innovative technologies. The premium natural materials have been carefully produced and tested, while the innovative technical fabrics are at the cutting edge of performance. The complete range of Advanced Xoskin Materials has been hand-picked by experts. PU+ An extremely lightweight technical microfibre fabric, which is unequalled in its combination of softness and durability. PU A high grade PU, which has been sourced for an affordable combination of PU characteristics, replacing traditional cotton. HYPERGRIP

FACING

Tested by pro keepers, this patented, duel-height grip delivers revolutionary performance. The unique rubber compound affords a thin grip, for superior feel.

CCT is the engineered result of understanding how a ball’s impact shock waves travel towards the user. It utilises the unique properties of different materials to offer a combined performance which far surpasses any single material. Analysis has yielded lightweight materials with unsurpassed performance. IMPACT BALLISTIC

SHIELD

The latest CCT innovation; this ultra-stiff foamed polymer can render inert even the fastest balls. P O LY

ARMOUR

The high molecular density of this polymer makes it ideal for dissipating shock waves longitudinally within its structure. For this reason, Poly Armour is ultra-thin and light-weight. IMPACT

FOAM

The closed-cell structure of this foam gives optimum compression resistance to ball impacts, while efficiently absorbing painful shockwaves. These properties hugely reduce ball rebound, and minimise the chance of being caught out after impact. DIFFUSER

FOAM

This medium density closed-cell foam offers a secondary level of shock resistance, by diffusing the shock waves within the softer polymer structure. Only a medium thickness of this material is needed to take the sting out of an impact. VA P O U R

FOAM

The open-cell structure of this lightweight foam allows sweat vapour to pass through it, for increased comfort during long innings. Owing to the low density of this foam, it moulds well to the user’s body, giving a soft feel for the perfect fit.

10 I www.gray-nicolls.co.uk

GEL

This material exhibits a high elastic flexibility, which is combined with strong molecular cross-linking. The result is an ultra flexible material, with enough shock absorption to give confidence to the highest level. KNEE

KNEE

A unique honeycomb construction gives outstanding threedimensional fit and impact dampening. HYPERLITE

THIMBLES

Using an innovative lightweight polymer, each thimble is 40% lighter than others in the market; a weight reduction of 15% per wicket glove pair. Embossed ribs on the inside maximise grip at the catcher’s` fingertips, for ultimate performance. CRITICAL

ARMOUR

Made from CCT materials, this specially moulded component is used exclusively on the exposed fingers of batting gloves. The thick, pre-curved technical piece gives advanced performance, while reducing hand fatigue when batting. HDF

VECTOR 8 HANDLE Every season sees new records being smashed, and with more power comes the need for more control. With an octagonal top hand profile leading to a flat-sided oval bottom hand, the V8 handle gives fantastic levels of grip, and reduces the twisting force from off-centre shots.

Laminated cork for traditional feel

IMPACT+

High density impact foam with a complex molecular structure at a fraction of the weight of more traditional materials.

Vector-8 grip profile

The Vector 8 - Handle Pioneered by Gray-Nicolls professionals in the 2014 campaign. XRD HANDLE As the only point of contact between batsman and bat, the feel of a handle plays an essential role. With a triple-layered system of vibration dampening XRD foam, the unique XRD handle gives outstanding feedback to both hands and is shaped to match the Select handle.

Shock absorbing rubber laminate

XRD foam for innovative shock absorbing feel

BAT WEIGHTS at a glance

GUARD

Made from CCT materials, this specially moulded component is inserted inside the leg guards, for total shielding in this key impact zone. The ergonomic design fits the contours of the knee and maximises leg movement. HEX

Cane Construction Internal Willow reinforcement

Trusted by all Gray-Nicolls professionals.

L E AT H E R Grade B calf leather. This leather has been sourced for an affordable combination of leather characteristics, in the place of traditional cotton.

SELECT HANDLE The great lineage of Gray-Nicolls batsmen have all played their part in the evolution of this design. With a rounded top hand profile tapering into a semi-oval at the bottom hand, the Select handle provides a classic, stress-free grip position for both straight and cross bat shots.
