- Oil: Apply 1–2 thin coats of raw linseed oil to the face, edges and toe (avoid splice and stickers).
- Use: Quality leather or tennis cricket balls — Kashmir willow handles tennis-ball cricket very well.
- Storage: Cool, dry place — keep in the supplied SS cover.
- Toe Care: Apply a toe guard for extra protection.
