WE HAVE ALL GRADES OF CLEFTS FOR ENGLISH WILLOW CRICKET BATS Our wood arrives in the form of clefts which has already been graded by our suppliers. In order to further ensure the consistency in the grading of the willow, we sometimes tend to regrade certain clefts based on the look of the grain, pick up as well as performance of the bat. It is important to understand that not all bats with the perfect grains will give the ultimate performance. Alternatively, bats that have slight blemishes (e.g. knots or butterfly willow) can sometimes offer really exceptional performance. That is why at D&P, we recommend that when a customer selects a cricket bat, the primary focus should be on the bats pick-up and response rather than too much attention given to the look of the grains.
