No, we do not provide a knocking service. The knocking should be done by an individual with an old ball for at least 6 hours before taking the bat out in the nets. The knocking machines are not natural, and they may harm the bat due to constant pressure applied to the bat, which degrades the wood life and performance of the bat in the longer run. As a best practice, the player should do knocking after applying RS16 Anti Scuff Sheet on the bat surface.

RS16 Kashmir willow Bats are for beginners who are just starting to play cricket. This bat is for amateurs. Kashmir willow bat is made from the Indian wood of the Kashmir Region. The punch and stroke of Kashmir willow are inferior as compared to English willow. The overall weight of the Kashmir willow bat is on the higher side as compared to English Willow RS16 English Willow Bats are for individuals who are looking to play professional cricket. English Willow is a fibrous, soft wood. Because of its high-performance effect when striking the cricket ball, this variety of willow is favored by the majority of professional cricketers. It is imported wood from England. English willow bat offers more excellent strokes and best performance and feels spring-like punch while hitting the ball. They are also lighter in weight. We use the same English Willow as used in making bats for international cricketer

After few usages of the bat in nets, the bat's weight will be dropped to the original value.

Grading is done based on the quality of bats, whether it is English Willow or Kashmir Willow. The process is carried out rigorously with close precision assessing the grain structure, the weight, the number of grains, the color and cosmetics, and stains, if any, on the bat.

When choosing a new bat, the grade of wood will almost certainly be a factor, but understanding the distinctions can be challenging. Grade 1 A Grade 1 blade is the most attractive, and it is the best performing willow. On the blade's edge, there may be some red wood visible. A minimum of 6 grains will be visible on the face, and the grain will be straight. The playing surface is naturally clean, with no blemishes or marks on the blade of the bat Grade 2 A Grade 2 blade is similarly high quality, with a minute quantity of red wood visible on the blade's edge; this has no bearing on the bat's playing abilities and is strictly ornamental. Grade 2 blade generally consists of at least 6 grains, possibly some rare flaws such as minor blemishes. Grade 3 Grade 3 is an intermediate grade that is manufactured in more significant quantities than the upper grades and provides excellent value for money for professional cricketers. A Grade 3 blade has some amount of red wood across the blade, which has no bearing on the wood's playing abilities; it simply has less cosmetic appeal. A minimum of 5 grains will be present on the blade's face, which may or may not be precisely straight. This grade might have some minor blemishes or pin knots, which are natural in the wood. Grade 4 A Grade 4 blade usually contains a higher amount of red wood or stains. It will still perform well in comparison to the other grades. There could be any number of grains, with the most common being four; the willow carrying the 'butterfly' stain is quite strong; there could also be more "speck" and other flaws. Grade 5 Grade 5 is an excellent value-for-money bat for starting English Willow player. There may be some blemishes and the presence of knots in the bat. These bats may have slightly irregular grain patterns and are less responsive than higher grade English Willow bats. Butterfly stains Its body and wings mimic those of a butterfly. The presence of butterfly stains makes a bat incredibly durable, and it performs admirably. It's only a matter of preference if you like a bat with a unique appearance.

These are classifications given to a bat within the same grade. A grade is not uniform throughout, and further sub-grading needs to be done to provide you with better clarity regarding a bat. AAA means the top-level willow in that grade AA means the mid-level willow in that grade A means the lower-level willow in that grade For example, Grade 1 AAA > Grade 1 AA > Grade 1 A

While classification within a grade is done to give you better clarity regarding a bat, that classification is limited to that grade only. So, in any circumstance Grade 2 is better than Grade 3. Therefore, in terms of quality Grade 2 A is better than Grade 3 AAA. A willow's grading and sub-classification are done based on the willow's quality, performance, and weight.
