Being Prepared Is Always a Good Start

1. Being Prepared Is Always a Good Start Many people all over the world love sport, either to watch or participate. Either way, individuals and groups, spectators and those that practice the sport, the teams – get excited and make sure they find out about their favourite sport and its heroes, about their life, their style of play and also the equipment they use, for instance what set of golf clubs, what tennis racket or what cricket bat. Many only play for the fun of it whereas others go on to play professionally, but all of them share the same goals in terms of enjoyment, and almost every cricket player is aware for the equipment they use. Cricket bats are a good example. Youngsters often get their first bat when they’re still very young and form their first impression of the game. Parents and teachers and also coaches help these kids find the one that is right for ithem. So what does one have to look out for when it is time for the young boy or girl to get their first bat? Some points to consider would certainly include the following among issues: Firstly, size is very important as the wrong size will not do your youngster any favours. It will only compromise their batting and possibly their love for the game at an early age instead of helping them to play and enjoy it for many years. The size of the bat is based on the player’s height. A good retailer – either at the shop or from the online service one is dealing with, will always be able to assist in this regard since the leading ones among them will offer bat sizes according to a chart that depicts players’ height; therefore the youngster is assured of choosing a bat recommended for their height, if not age. Of course as players grow up and reach physical maturity, the size remains important, but then players choose according to choices such as short and long handles. As players grow up they are in a position to choose the bat that feels right for them, as opposed to the juniors that need more advice. Secondly, weight plays an important part too: too heavy for a young person is not good as it will, just like with size, interfere with their ability to handle it properly. Once again: youngsters should be guided by experienced, grown-up players such as the parent or the coach – or the retailer. Another factor to be considered is the so-called willow-grade. Generally speaking cricket bats are manufactured from English Willow. A good willow is important too as the grade or quality will be a factor when it comes to repeated withstanding of dents and splinters when balls hit the bat – and to help with absorbing shock. A fourth consideration that one has to take into account is the choice of buying a bat that has already been knocked in – or not. Knocking the bat in is part of the preparation necessary before one takes to the pitch and starts hitting to prevent cracks and damage. Good retailers offer the choice (It is recommended, however, to still knock it in at home to make sure the bat is ready for the onslaughts) – some good ones also offer their own pre-prepared choices. And, of course, many players, young or adult, have their own preference when it comes to brand. Good brands stand out for a reason; therefore they will always enjoy a greater following than many others. The same is true for the retailer we buy from. Find a well-respected shop or online retailer with a good name – then make your choice of bat, either for your young child, or for yourself, according to your player profile.
