Salix Rugged Knife Performance Cricket Bat

Ordered a junior Kippax Problade for my daughter’s 11th birthday. Fantastic product and delivered in perfect condition! The business owner, James, was a pleasure to communicate with. Throughout the process, James kept me updated on progress if the order. I highly recommend The Cricket Store!

I purchased the Acid Nitric Grade 2 a few months ago. It was when the website offered a good discount for your first order. The customer service from James was outstanding. From following up on my queries to letting me know when it was dispatched and then asking for follow-ups if it was okay, it doesn't get better. The bat itself... is incredible. I got it in 2'9 and once knocked it, it flew. The pickup is fantastic, it is an absolute beauty of a blade and the performance is top-notch. I get lots of people asking what brand it is (Salix). This year I haven't played much, but have hit over 600 runs averaging 80 (5 fifties and 1 hundred), which just shows how amazing the willow is.

First Class Service
James was so quick to respond to the many messages I had about the salix Nitric Bat before I placed my order. It arrived less than 3 days after ordering and is an absolute gun of a bat at an amazing price using the 20% discount. Ended up ordering another bat (Robert Pack) on behalf of my dad as a special birthday present for my brother. Will definitely use the cricket store for future cricket orders & will recommend to friends & family.

Honestly the best service I’ve had from a company ever. James was really patient and helpful with my questions . I bought a pair of Nike vapour pro 2 cricket shoes . So lite compared to previous shoes I’ve bought !!

Seen bat advertised on Instagram
Bat arrived next day delivery
Very nice bat

Great product which doubles as a sweat band. Great service from The cricket store who offered free next day delivery.

The guys were super responsive and informative about questions I had about the salix rugged knife. It then arrived less than 48 hours after ordering and is an absolute beaut of a bat - will for sure be using the cricket store for future purchases.

Found the cricket store through google and was really impressed with the options available and their pricing. I ordered the Chase duffle 45 and 100 and flc pads and r11 gloves and they arrived very quickly from order. James was very helpful via Instagram communications. All in all I will be ordering again soon!

I absolutely love the Salix Rugged Knife bat. It’s an excellent bat at an even better price. Add in the first purchase discount and I almost felt slightly guilty at getting such a quality bat at the price paid.

Beyond the quality of the bat, the service from the cricket store was also excellent. I will definitely be back next time I need some new cricket equipment.

Wow I am lost for words ...
Ordered a Salix Acid Nitric Pro bat and boy o boy.... What an unbelievable piece of willow....
I am more than impressed with the massive full profile and it picks up like a dream 😍
Would like to thank Salix for making such a wonderful wand and also a massive thank you to James for helping me pick the right bat 👏👏
I am defo coming back for another one 😬

Excellent quality socks. I am delighted with them! I can see why Ben Stokes uses them. I like the packaging and they arrived the next day

I purchased a Salix rugged (pic attached) from the cricket store and couldn’t be happier with my experience. Communication was excellent through social media and delivery was very prompt. Again with excellent communication from courier and TCS.
I have since been in contact with TCS and have received replies promptly. I will be purchasing kit again from the cricket store they seem to have some good ideas as well as good links with companies

Thank you again

I found The Cricket Store through their social media and was interested to see they were one of the few places stocking ACID bats. I messaged via Instagram about the specifics of the bat I was looking at and received a quick reply giving all the information I'd asked for. Once ordered, the bat arrived within a few working days and I'm very pleased with it so far and will only get better with more playing in. Would recommend TCS to anyone looking for a new bat from a smaller maker, especially if you value efficient and friendly customer service.

From the moment I placed my order, the Cricket Store system kept me fully appraised of its progress. Impressively, the arm guard arrived within 2 days and, when it did, I discovered its quality to be superb. I just hope my use of a Cricket Store provided bat will mean the arm guard isn’t often called into action!

I ordered an ayrtek sweatband for my partner & it was quickly delivered and well packaged
