Grade 2 English Willow at a Glance
- Appearance: Grade 2 in most cases has straighter grains, a cleaner face and more grains than Grade 3 or 3+. It may show a few small marks or slight colour variation, which are cosmetic only.
- Durability & Strength: Strong, durable willow built for regular club and league cricket.
- Preparation: Machine pre-knocked before dispatch. Give it a short finishing knock-in and a few throwdowns with older balls before match use.
- Ideal For: Club and advanced players, power hitters and finishers who want strong ping and performance close to higher grades, at a lower price.
Why Mammoth?
The Mammoth is built for one job: hitting the ball as hard and as far as possible. Handcrafted in India from Grade 2 English Willow, it has a fuller profile with minimum concaving and edges of approx. 40mm, putting the maximum amount of wood behind the ball while staying within the MCC Laws.
The mid-to-low sweet spot rewards full-length deliveries, so drives and lofted hits off the front foot carry further, and the big edges help mishits still reach the rope.
A Singapore cane handle absorbs shock against fast bowling, and the ring chevron grip gives a secure, non-slip feel.
Why Wolfer?
Every Wolfer bat is hand picked by players who have actually played the game, not just factory workers ticking boxes.
Each bat is tested for weight, balance and ping before it's approved, so what reaches you is a bat that's actually been checked by someone who knows what a good pickup feels like.
Who Is It Suitable For?
- Power hitters and finishers who want maximum wood behind the ball
- Front-foot batters who drive and loft full-length deliveries
- Aggressive T20 players and finishers in league and club cricket
- Club and advanced players who love thick-edge bats
- Players on low, slow pitches
Compare: Mammoth vs Tigon vs Lepjag
All three are fully pressed Wolfer bats with edges up to 40mm. The Mammoth and Lepjag are both Grade 2: the Mammoth has a fuller profile with minimum concaving for maximum wood behind the ball, while the Lepjag is a lighter-feeling Duckbill. The Tigon steps up to Grade 1 for straight, almost parallel grains and a clean face.
| Mammoth | Tigon | Lepjag | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade | Grade 2 | Grade 1 | Grade 2 |
| Profile | Fuller profile, minimum concaving, mid-to-low sweet spot, semi-square toe | Duckbill, deep spine, thick toe | Duckbill, mid-to-low sweet spot, semi-square toe |
| Max weight | 1,190g | 1,190g | 1,190g |
| Edges | Approx. 40mm | Max 40mm | Max 40mm |
| Pressing | Full | Full | Full |
| Grains | In most cases more than Grade 3 or 3+ | Usually 6 to 10 | In most cases more than Grade 3 or 3+ |
| Grain structure | In most cases straighter than Grade 3 or 3+ | Straight, almost parallel grains | In most cases straighter than Grade 3 or 3+ |
| Appearance | Cleaner face than Grade 3 or 3+ | Clean face, no stains or butterfly marks | Cleaner face than Grade 3 or 3+ |
| Blemishes & marks | Few, small marks | None on the playing face | Few, small marks |
| Performance | Maximum wood behind the ball for power on full balls | Strong rebound, big sweet spot and sharp ping | Strong ping and durability, close to higher grades |
| Ideal for | Power hitters / Club / Advanced | Club / Advanced | Club / Advanced |
Appearance vs performance: Bat grading is based mainly on looks (the number of grains, how clean the face is, and the absence of knots or stains) rather than how hard the ball comes off the middle. A well-pressed Grade 2 bat can perform very close to a Grade 1.

Product Disclaimer
Cricket bats are handcrafted from natural English Willow, so each one is unique.
Weight: Each bat is weighed when it leaves the factory, with the grip on but before the branded stickers are applied. We aim to keep the final weight of all our bats under 1,190g, but local conditions such as moisture where the bat is shipped can increase or decrease the weight by a few grams.
Never store cricket bats in car boots or trunks as excessive heat may cause cracking and reduce bat life.
Each cricket bat is unique and may feature minor cosmetic variations.
Choose your bat size by height first, then age. If you are between two sizes, pick the smaller one: a bat that is too long is harder to control. The sizes available for this bat are shown in the options above Add to Cart.
| Bat Size | Player Height | Approx. Age |
|---|---|---|
| Size 0 | Under 4ft (under 122cm) | 4 and under |
| Size 1 | 4ft – 4ft 3in (122–130cm) | 4–5 years |
| Size 2 | 4ft 3in – 4ft 6in (130–137cm) | 6–7 years |
| Size 3 | 4ft 6in – 4ft 9in (137–145cm) | 8–9 years |
| Size 4 | 4ft 9in – 4ft 11in (145–150cm) | 9–10 years |
| Size 5 | 4ft 11in – 5ft 2in (150–157cm) | 10–11 years |
| Size 6 | 5ft 2in – 5ft 5in (157–165cm) | 12–13 years |
| Harrow | 5ft 5in – 5ft 8in (165–173cm) | 13–15 years |
| Short Handle (SH) | 5ft 8in – 6ft 2in (173–188cm) | 15+ years and adults |
| Long Handle (LH) | Over 6ft 2in (over 188cm) | Adults |
Quick check: stand with the bat beside your leg, toe on the ground. The top of the handle should sit around the top of your thigh, at your hip. Sizes vary slightly between brands, so message us on WhatsApp if you are unsure.
A bat's profile is the shape of the blade from the side. It decides where the sweet spot sits and how light the bat feels to pick up. Match the profile to the way you score your runs.
| Profile | Suited For |
|---|---|
| Low (bottom-heavy) | Front-foot drivers who want maximum carry on full-length deliveries; slow, low pitches |
| Mid / Extended Mid | All-rounders who play every format and want a big, forgiving sweet spot |
| Duckbill (thick toe) | Power hitters who drive full balls and want solid wood low down for lofted straight drives and yorkers |
| Hawkbill (thin toe) | Back-foot players and T20 hitters who want a lighter pickup and faster hands for pulls, hooks, cuts and late shots |
This bat: fuller profile with minimum concaving and a mid-to-low sweet spot. Close to the Low row above: maximum wood low on the blade for power hitters who drive full balls, especially on low, slow pitches.
Read the full Cricket Bat Profiles guide →Use this guide as a general reference for choosing the right bat weight for your batting style. It applies to adult (Short Handle and Long Handle) Wolfer cricket bats. The weight range for this bat is listed in its specifications.
| Weight | Grams | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 2lb 7oz | 1,106g | Very light pickup, wristy stroke makers |
| 2lb 8oz | 1,134g | Ultra-light stroke makers |
| 2lb 9oz | 1,162g | Balanced power and pickup |
| 2lb 10oz | 1,191g | Club cricket standard |
| 2lb 11oz | 1,219g | Power hitters |
| 2lb 12oz | 1,247g | Finishers |
Tip: choose a weight you can control through a full innings. A lighter bat with good balance usually scores more runs than a heavier bat you have to muscle.
Cricket Bat Care and Maintenance
A well-maintained cricket bat performs better and lasts longer.
Proper bat care helps protect the willow, and reduce the chance of avoidable damage.
Unattended cracks can lead to bat damage.
Too much moisture and extreme hot conditions are both bad for the bat.
How to examine if a bat has dried up?
- Have a close look at your bat. The dried willow will lose all its shine and will look rough.
- When your bat starts sounding off, the most probable cause: it has dried up.
- What to do? Use a small amount of raw linseed oil on the face, edges, toe, and back of the bat.
- Avoid the stickers, splice, and handle during application.
- Apply oil lightly with a soft cloth or fingertips rather than soaking the willow.
- Let the bat rest in a cool, dry place after oiling.
- Two thin coats are usually enough for regular maintenance.
- Never stand the bat in a vertical position after oiling. Always keep it horizontal for at least 24 hours after oiling.
- Remember: A bat that retains moisture, performs the best.
- A common misconception: Older bats do not need oiling.
- Fact: Newer bats seldom need oiling.
Cricket Bat Storage, the correct way
- Store your English Willow cricket bat in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight and strong heat.
- Keep it in a padded cover or case when not in use.
- Avoid leaving it in damp kit bags or hot vehicle boots for extended periods.
- If storing it long term, clean it properly and apply a light maintenance coat if needed.
When your bat needs attention
If the face starts looking dry, seam marks deepen quickly, or fine cracks begin to appear, stop use and inspect it carefully.
Small issues are easier to manage early, especially on a premium Wolfer English Willow cricket bat.
Knocking in your cricket bat
Your Mammoth bat is machine pre-knocked before dispatch. A short finishing knock-in by hand is still recommended, as it prepares the willow for match impact by gradually compressing the fibres.
This helps the blade handle repeated ball contact more effectively and lowers the chance of early damage.
Manual knocking in
- Use a proper bat mallet or an older cricket ball for controlled preparation.
- Start with gentle taps on the face, do not knock the edges, round them using your mallet's handle, be gentle on the toe.
- Avoid striking the splice or handle directly.
- Increase pressure gradually over multiple sessions instead of rushing it.
- Focus on even preparation across the blade.
How long the process should take
A proper knocking-in process should take place over several hours and across multiple sessions.
Even if your English Willow bat feels strong out of the box, it still benefits from a careful preparation phase before full match use.
Before full match play
After knocking in, use the bat in throwdowns or light net sessions with older balls before facing harder new balls.
This final stage helps confirm that your English Willow bat is ready while allowing the willow to settle naturally.

Amazing English willow cricket bat with excellent ping. The thick edges give extra confidence while playing aggressive shots.
Can I use this bat in league or club matches?
Yes. Its edges are approx. 40mm, within the limit set by MCC Law 5, so it can be used in league and club matches played under the MCC Laws.
What makes the Mammoth different?
Its fuller profile, minimum concaving, mid-to-low sweet spot and approx. 40mm edges put as much wood behind the ball as the Laws allow, for maximum power on full balls.
Is a Grade 2 English Willow cricket bat good?
Yes. Grade 2 gives strong ping and durability, close to higher grades, at a lower price than Grade 1. Willow grading is mostly about appearance, so a well-pressed Grade 2 bat can perform very close to a Grade 1.
Mammoth vs Lepjag: which should I choose?
Both are Grade 2. Choose the Mammoth if you want maximum wood behind the ball, with a fuller profile and minimum concaving. Choose the Lepjag for a lighter-feeling Duckbill with a quicker pickup.
Mammoth vs Tigon: which should I choose?
Choose the Mammoth for maximum power at a Grade 2 price. Choose the Tigon for Grade 1 willow with a clean face and straight, almost parallel grains, in a Duckbill profile.
What is the difference between Grade 1 and Grade 2 English Willow?
Grade 1 has straight, almost parallel grains and a clean face with no stains or butterfly marks. Grade 2 in most cases has straighter grains, a cleaner face and more grains than Grade 3 or 3+, but may show a few small marks or slight colour variation. The difference is mainly cosmetic. Compare with our Tigon Grade 1.
How many grains does the Mammoth have?
In most cases more grains than Grade 3 or 3+, and straighter. The count varies from bat to bat, so message us on WhatsApp for details of current stock.
What is the bat profile?
A fuller profile with minimum concaving, a mid-to-low sweet spot and a semi-square toe. See the Profile Guide tab, or read our Cricket Bat Profiles guide.
Do international players use Grade 2 bats?
Professional players usually use Grade 1 or player-grade willow, chosen for appearance and consistency. Grade 2 is made for club and advanced cricket, where it gives performance close to higher grades at a lower price.
Do blemishes affect the life of the bat?
No. Marks such as specks or slight colour variation are cosmetic and do not usually shorten a bat's life. How long a bat lasts depends far more on knocking in, oiling when the willow looks dry, and storage. See the Maintenance tab.
What is the bat weight?
We aim to keep the final weight of all our bats under 1,190g. Each bat is weighed when it leaves the factory, with the grip on but before the stickers are applied. Local conditions such as moisture can change the weight by a few grams.
Is the bat pre-knocked?
Yes, it comes machine pre-knocked. We still recommend a short finishing knock-in and a few throwdowns with older balls before match use. See the Knocking Instructions tab for the full process.
How long does delivery take?
UK dispatch usually takes 24-48 hours, while India and international dispatch usually takes 5-7 days.
Do you deliver outside the UK?
Yes, we deliver to Canada, the USA, South Africa, New Zealand, the UK, India, Australia, and almost anywhere in the world where a courier can reach. International orders may include customs charges depending on the destination country.
Can I order bats for my club or academy?
Yes. Mix any products and get up to 25% off with bulk order discounts, applied automatically at checkout. Build your team order.
