• Optimised weight range (1150–1200 g) for explosive bat speed without sacrificing stability
• Pronounced spine and calibrated edge thickness for a powerful, enveloping sweet spot
• Short, round Singapore-cane handle wrapped in a multilayer rubber grip to absorb shock and dampen vibration

Performance and Playability

The Venom’s engineered spine and thick edges concentrate mass behind the sweet spot, delivering venomous power on drives and impeccable feedback on defensive shots. Thanks to its light pick-up and balanced weight distribution, you’ll manoeuvre effortlessly between front-foot strokes and nimble back-foot play—turning even late deliveries into scoring opportunities.

Ready-to-Play Convenience

Arrives factory pre-knocked and lightly oiled so that you can step straight from the bat bag to the centre pitch. An integrated toe guard protects the blade base from moisture and impact, while the sleek padded cover keeps your bat pristine as you move from nets to match day.

Care & Maintenance Tips

• Oil sparingly: apply 2–3 light coats of raw linseed oil before first use, allowing 24 hours between coats
• Gentle knock-in: perform 200–300 strokes with a mallet to protect fibres without over-compressing
• Inspect regularly: check the handle splice and grip; replace the grip when wear affects comfort or control
• Proper storage: keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or cracking
