Blade Selection
Selection of your Quest Blade is a personal choice. Our hand crafted blades pick-up light and are superbly balanced. Generally our blades feel 3 or 4 ounces lighter than their indicated weight. Our craftsman ensure the blades have straight grains and long middles for maximum power and scoring potential. Details on our blade making process can be found by clicking here.
Sizing
Cricketers and all top coaches agree that choosing the correct size Blade is vital for the proper technical development of young cricketers. It is important that the Blade is not too long and more importantly not too heavy to hinder correct stroke play and good technique. Junior bats are scaled down in size and weight to meet this important requirement. Quest Blades are well balanced and will have a light pick-up making the Blade feel lighter than its actual weight.
