Who is the MRF Run Machine VK 18 designed for? This bat is designed for club cricketers, intermediate players, and serious amateurs. It offers the same physical shape and balance as Virat Kohli's international bat but is crafted from Grade 3 willow to provide a durable and cost-effective option for regular season play.
What grade of willow is used in this bat? The MRF Run Machine VK 18 is made from Selected Grade 3 English Willow. While it may have some natural cosmetic marks or "butterfly stains," it is chosen for its structural integrity and typically features 7 to 10 grains, ensuring solid performance.
What is the profile shape of the Run Machine? It features the classic "Genius" profile with a mid-sweet spot and thick edges (37-40mm). This design is optimized for all-round stroke play, providing the power needed for drives and pulls while maintaining a balanced pickup.
Does this Grade 3 bat need knocking in? Yes, absolutely. Like all English Willow bats, the Run Machine requires a thorough knocking-in process. We recommend manual knocking with a mallet and oiling to protect the fibers and edges, which is especially important for maximizing the lifespan of Grade 3 willow.
