ZX Sporting X Power Kashmir Willow Cricket Bat
~ A heavier Kashmir willow blade for batters who hit through the line.
The ZX Sporting X Power is a short-handle senior bat cut from air-dried Kashmir willow, with a full profile through the middle and toe. At 2lb 11oz it is a genuinely heavy blade, built for the batter who generates power through weight rather than bat speed.
Kashmir willow is harder and denser than English willow. It needs far less knocking-in and shrugs off hard grounds and long net sessions, which is why it remains the workhorse of club cricket in the US.
Why Players Choose the X Power
Ready to play sooner
Dense Kashmir willow needs a fraction of the preparation English willow demands - a short knocking-in session and a few overs with an old ball, and it is match-ready.
Mass behind the ball
The extra ounces sit through the middle of the blade, so contact off the sweet spot carries rather than stops. A bat for front-foot drivers and back-foot pullers, not for players who rely on quick hands.

FAQ Section
Q1: Is the X Power ready to use out of the box? Almost. Kashmir willow needs much less preparation than English willow, but a short knocking-in session is still worth doing.
Q2: Can I use this bat with a leather ball? Yes. Kashmir willow handles a leather ball comfortably in club cricket, as well as tape-ball and tennis-ball games.
Q3: What exactly does this bat weigh? 2lb 11.4oz, which places it in the Heavy band.
Q4: Is 2lb 11oz too heavy for me? It is a heavy adult bat. If you are not already comfortable swinging 2lb 10oz or more through a full session, a lighter blade will serve you better.
Q5: How is Kashmir willow different from English willow? It is harder and denser, so it is more durable and needs less knocking-in, but it lacks the rebound of English willow - which is why it costs less.
Q6: Should I oil this bat? A light coat of raw linseed oil on the face, edges and toe before first use stops the willow drying out. Keep oil off the splice and labels.
