Performance and Playability

The ThunderX’s engineered spine and thick edges channel mass into the sweet spot, empowering you to unleash powerful front-foot drives or play tight defensive strokes with equal confidence. It’s balanced pick-up feels light in the hands, making cuts, pull shots, and late-hand work intuitive—even against pace bowling. The Singapore-cane handle strikes the perfect flex-to-firmness ratio, dampening unwanted vibrations without sacrificing feedback.

Ready-to-Play Convenience

Arrives factory pre-knocked and oil-treated—no lengthy prep required. The integrated toe guard protects the blade base from moisture and impact, while the sleek padded cover keeps your bat match-ready from the nets to game day.

Care & Maintenance Tips

• Apply 2–3 light coats of raw linseed oil before first use, allowing 24 hours of absorption between each coat
• Perform a gentle knock-in session (200–300 strokes) to safeguard the fibres without over-compressing them
• Inspect the handle splice and grip regularly; replace the grip when wear affects comfort or control
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or cracking

Beyond the Bat

Personalise your ThunderX with coloured grips, bespoke name decals, or custom toe inserts to match your style. Pair it with Time Sports’ range of gloves, pads, and helmets for a fully integrated kit that takes you from practice nets to match-winning innings.
