The MATRRIXX Zouk cricket bat is an innovative design offering a slightly lighter, well balanced bat but retaining the traditional Asian shape and large profile. Inspired by the traditional V-spine shape with a slightly lower middle, big edges and bowed blade but with weight removed by two parallel grooves running right up the outer edges of the rear of the blade. These grooves are placed to remove dead weight but far enough in from the edges to retain the edge strength, integrity and size. No other bat on the market has this design.
