Built for Aggressive, Dominating Strokeplay

The RS 080 is engineered for batters who play with intent — power-hitters, finishers, and middle-order strokemakers who back themselves to clear the ropes. The combination of a pronounced bow, extended sweet spot, and lightweight pickup makes it ideal for fast-paced T20 batting, dominant ODI strokeplay, and aggressive red-ball innings.

Technology Breakdown

Grade 1 English Willow: The highest commercially available willow grade — typically 6–10+ straight grains, minimal blemishes, and superior fibre density. Delivers the cleanest ping and longest-lasting performance.

Treble Spring (9-Piece) Handle: Alternating layers of cane and rubber springs absorb shock on mistimed shots while transferring maximum energy through middled strokes.

Duck-Bill Toe: Reinforced and shaped to balance the swing weight without sacrificing pickup — an ideal profile for confident, front-foot strokeplay.

Pronounced Bow: Concave-pressed face that pre-loads the willow for a more powerful release through the impact zone.

Product Specifications

Who It's For

Designed for club, league, university, and professional cricketers who demand premium English willow performance. The RS 080 is ideal for power-hitters, top and middle-order batters, and players stepping up to senior or first-grade cricket who want a Player-Edition bat built around an authentic professional profile.

Care & Knock-In Instructions

• Knock In: All English willow bats require a minimum of 6–8 hours of progressive knocking-in with a hardwood mallet before match use. Begin gently and build up impact zone by zone.
• Oil: Apply 2–3 thin coats of raw linseed oil to the face, edges, and toe (avoid the splice and stickers). Allow each coat to dry fully before the next.
• Use: Only use against quality leather cricket balls during the first few sessions. Avoid cheap, hard, or wet leather balls — and never against composite or stone-hard balls.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme heat, direct sunlight, or damp environments.
• Toe Care: Apply a toe guard (sold separately) for extra protection against ground tapping and yorker impact.
• Re-grip & Repair: Replace the grip when it loses tack. Surface cracks can be sanded and re-pressed — consult a willow specialist for splice repairs.
