The Præstantia is simply a classic bat.  Pioneering the deep bow created through a combination of handshaping and pressing, it has dominated the highest levels of club and league cricket for years. It offers a long driving area, thick edges, deep bow, immaculate pickup and stunning performance. Individually treated at every stage of manufacture, from machining, pressing and hand shaping to the impossibly fine sanding which produces our signature finish, the bat continues to capture the imagination of the most talented and dedicated players.

Since its launch in 2000, it has consistently out-sold all our other models and will remain a staple in our range for many seasons to come. Its status was even recognised by a listing of the top 50 items of sports equipment in The Independent - the only cricket item chosen. The Præstantia is the only model offered in ‘xx/xx‘ which is the shorter blade/longer handle option originating from twenty20 cricket. Offering the same overall length as a standard short handle, the xx/xx gives an alternative weight distribution suitable for all cricket.
