A cricket bat is one of the most important things to batsmen then other
accessories. Some time you might have heard that the top-class players sleep
along with their bat before a cricket match. For the true cricket lovers, even
sound of the willow hitting the ball is also very enjoyable. As there are hundreds
of models available, it is easy to buy the one that is trendy and attractive but
difficult to choose the one that go well with your hitting style.

It is an important topic to discuss and decide how to choose a bat that is perfect
for you. Of course! Your budget is the main consideration to start the selection
process. With a little budget, you can only choose low grade English willow bats
but if you are ready to spend little bit extra money, then you can buy premium
quality bat that will be with you for a long time.

Following are some important points that you have to consider before going to
buy a cricket bat.

If you have strong body then you can buy heavy bats. They are fine to make big
shots. This type of heavy bat is also work for long time than light ones and they do
not chip easily. When it comes to make a good amount of runs, keep in mind that
you are going to use your bat at least for an hour. Therefore, the weight should be
somewhat manageable so that you can handle easily even if you get tired. So
check the weight properly before buying it. You can check the heaviness of by
holding it in one hand. Catch it from the top of the handle and lift your arm
completely above the shoulder, wait for few seconds. If you can hold it with
comfort then its good for you but if you can’t handle comfortably even for few
seconds then it is not suitable for you, because while playing you have to manage
it at least for 60 minutes.

Now you have to consider the height of its handle. Even though, nowadays long
handles are not in trend but if you are somewhat taller then a long handle will be
fairly good for you. Consequently, you will play your shots in straight position and
mostly you will be using the center place compare to a short handled.

Once you have decided the handle size, think about the sweet spot and where
you want it to be. Several cricketers like it to be low; some prefer the sweet spot
to be in the center, whereas others like it to be lightly spread. It is entirely depend
on your personal choice. So you have to decide where you want your sweet spot
to be, and then in order to assure yourself just hit a cricket ball and find whether
it is rightly placed where you would like it to be.
