Shockwave 5 Star Cricket Bat
Description
Be prepared to change the game of cricket with the new Shockwave cricket bat by Gray-Nicolls. The traditional image of cricket will be smashed to smithereens with this ultra-modern bat with its cutting-edge new look.
The Shockwave bat is loud, aggressive and in your face. Designed with the T20 era in mind, this piece of English Willow moves Gray-Nicolls directly to the centre of cricket's fast-paced revolution.
With a high middle and pronounced swell, the Shockwave 5 Star packs all the power you need to send the ball flying. This is the ideal cricket bat for a top-level club or county player to stand and deliver, hitting the boundary consistently and with total confidence.
The vast edges of the Shockwave ensure maximum distance even if you mistime the ball slightly, leaving the bowlers befuddled and bewildered.
The Shockwave's fractured sticker effect draws focus to the big sweet spot, with the jagged graphics adding to its imposing feel. This might be our boldest design yet.
As with all Gray-Nicolls designs, the Shockwave was honed over months of research and design, and developed with some of our leading cricketers including Alex Hales. That has allowed us to design a 5 Star bat that performs above and beyond the level you need.
Made with the finest English willow, the Shockwave promises only minor blemishes on wood, with straight grains, and a guarantee to turn heads when you walk to the crease.
With bat sizes from 5 through to long handle, there is a Shockwave 5 star cricket bat for all.

Common Questions
How do I care for my bat?
We recommend knocking your cricket bat in before use. You may also want to add a layer of linseed oil. Store your bat in a dry place when not in use.
See our blog on how to care for your new cricket bat including tips on adding linseed oil and replacing scuff sheets here.
How do I knock my bat in?
Using an old ball in a sock or a Deluxe Bat Mallet, hit the face of your cricket bat to condition the wood. You can also hit the edges of the bat with glancing blows, and gently hit the toe. You do not need to knock in the splice (top) of the bat.
What size bat do I need?
Please refer to our bat size guide to determine the size of the bat you require.
