Batting Style : - Three types of cricket bats are :-
The low, the medium, and the high. This all refers to the position of the sweet spot of the bat. The low type of bat is perfect for drives and straight shots. The medium is a mix between the low and high while as high has a sweet spot that is further up towards the handle and is perfect for cuts and pulls.
- The Handle :– Choosing a bat with correct handle is very necessary for the confidence of the batter.
Two types of handles are:-
Oval and Round: The oval handle provides a better directional sense and pickup while as round handle provides greater control.
- The Toe Guard:– The toe on a cricket bat is prone to damage. This can happen when batsmen face those toe crushing yorkers which can lead to split in the wood and rendering the bat useless. To reduce the risk of damage it is recommended to use a toe guard.
