Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the Nexus Xtreme Junior best suited to?

It is suited to developing junior cricketers looking for an English Willow bat for regular hard-ball practice, school, club and academy cricket.

Which size should I choose?

Use the player-height guide above first, then make sure the player can lift and swing the bat comfortably. If between sizes, prioritise control and pickup rather than choosing the larger bat.

Is the bat ready to use?

English Willow bats should be properly prepared before match use. Check the bat on arrival and complete any required oiling, knocking-in and protective preparation before facing a hard cricket ball.

Will grains and weight vary?

Yes. English Willow is a natural material, so grain pattern, shade and exact pickup can vary from bat to bat.
