These are a special selection of Players Reserve willow, selected by Matrrixx for the discerning player who prizes performance over cosmetics. They can't be classed grade 1 because of the amount of brown wood, up to half of the bat, possibly with some blemish often associated with heart wood bats, but the specification starts with circa 10 grains and this kind of wood is much favoured by the pros for offering excellent performance. Definite players bats, offering a light balance, big profile and outstanding performance.
