Because the game of cricket is changing, we have produced a bat to change a game. As Twenty/Twenty cricket moves uncontrollably towards its American cousin, baseball, we have produced a bat which is a cross between a cricket bat and a baseball bat. Simple. Long blade, short handle with a button on its end to prevent slippage. The centre of gravity is moved up the bat which allows a massive profile and a pick-up akin to Margot Fonteyn. Now that is damn groovy. There will be doubters out there, followers rather than leaders, but we at Willostix are not afraid of poking our pretty heads above the parapet when we think something is right. In fact when we were testing the Slugger a nice chap in a beige tank top came over and said "it simply wasn't cricket" "damn right mate, it simply is not".

What people are saying about us
'Behold The Stick which, indeed, looks like a Stick. But with wood taken from the shoulders and put in the middle, there's method in this madness. Ultra-light in the pick up, it allows for more hand-speed in the hit, which means more power. Stylish.' - Sport Magazine June 2010. Issue 162
'The fact that the shoulders are missing means an even larger middle and, with the benefit of a nice, light pick-up, the piece of Grade 1 English willow is perfect for the aggressive shot-maker that is inside every club cricketer.
Designed for players that predominantly hit straight, 'The Stick' can still cope admirably with the short ball. Never mind a sweet spot, 'The Stick' simply had a massive middle that meant even if not quite to the pitch of every delivery, the ball still seemed to come off the bat superbly.' - Awarded 4 stars out of 5 in the SkySports.com Locker Room Review November 2010
