Gray-Nicolls Ventus Gen 1.0 Exclusive Edition English Willow Cricket Bat
Become part of the Ventus family and elevate your game to the highest level. Used by international stars like Zak Crawley and Mohammad Rizwan, the Gray-Nicolls Ventus Gen 1.0 Exclusive Edition is a premium English Willow cricket bat designed for modern, aggressive stroke-makers who demand ultimate control and power.
The Ventus Gen 1.0 features a meticulously crafted profile with a mid-to-low sweet spot and an even-low bow, making it a highly formidable weapon for front-foot drives and playing on lower-bouncing pitches. The semi-rounded Powercurve face ensures optimum ping across an expanded hitting area. Despite the massive edges matching the spine, innovative shaping and a lower balance point give this bat an outstandingly light pickup (approx. 2lbs 7oz), generating explosive bat speed. To ensure long-lasting durability, the blade is finished with a factory-applied Extratec anti-scuff sheet.

Q: What does an Extratec finish mean?
A: An Extratec finish means the bat comes with a factory-applied, clear anti-scuff sheet on the face. This provides immediate protection against surface cracks and moisture, enhancing the bat's durability.
Q: Does this bat still need to be knocked in if it has an Extratec face?
