Hi all and welcome, I am great believer in tradition and only make cricket bats using tradiontional tools, these tools have been used in the bat making process since the 1750's so who am I to argue with this tried and tested process.

The bats and profiles I create from English willow all have a meaning to me.That is, they are shaped that way because, I know what makes them perform, in which areas they will perform and why it will perform. The willow is selected to suit a shape I don't just put my hands on a piece of willow and say "That looks nice, that'll do" The profile needs to suit the willows full potential for performance not the other way round.

Thanks

Andy
