Monarch Grade 1 Butterfly English Willow Cricket Bat | Tight Grains | Hidden Gem Willow
Butterfly Grade English Willow has the grains and performance of a Grade 1, at a price so low, all thanks to a unique natural stain. A bat for smart buyers.
The Wolfer Monarch is not your average cricket bat. It is the one that cricketing nerds quietly keep coming back to, the one that outperforms its price tag every single season.

Why Is the Monarch Butterfly Grade a Hidden Gem?
Named after the Monarch, the king of butterflies, this bat is one of the best kept secrets in cricket.
The Butterfly Stain Is Not a Flaw
The butterfly-shaped stain develops naturally over 10 to 15 years when the willow tree heals from pruning or frost damage.
This creates denser fibre, better moisture retention and stronger ping.
Grade 1 Grain Structure
The Monarch features 6+ tight straight grains across the blade, offering Grade 1 style performance at a lower price.
Hidden Gem Pricing
Butterfly Grade willow is often priced lower because of appearance, not performance, making it an incredible value bat.
Longer Bat Life
The reinforced fibre structure helps improve durability and resistance against cracking over multiple seasons.

English Willow is a natural material. A little care before and after you play makes a real difference to how your bat performs and how long it lasts.
Before you start: keeping or returning?
Check your bat as soon as it arrives. If you might return it, don't knock it in, oil it, tape it, fit a toe guard or play with it until you are sure you are keeping it. See Returns & Refunds.
Finish the knocking-in
Our pre-knocked bats have about half the knocking-in done by machine before dispatch. Finish the rest yourself before match use:
- Tap the face gently with an old, good-quality ball or a bat mallet, building up the force slowly.
- Work the edges and the toe at an angle, so they are rounded off, never hit them square on.
- Move on to short catching practice and throw-downs with an old ball.
- Then nets with old balls, before you use the bat in a match.
We email you a step-by-step knocking-in guide when your bat is dispatched.
Protect the toe and face
- Fit a toe guard to protect the toe from moisture and knocks.
- An anti-scuff sheet on the face helps hold the willow together and reduces surface wear.
- Avoid new, very hard or poor-quality balls until the bat is fully knocked in.
Oiling
- Use a light coat of raw linseed oil on bare willow only, such as the edges, toe and back. Don't oil over stickers, the handle or an anti-scuff sheet.
- Lay the bat flat to dry overnight, face up.
- A thin coat is enough. Too much oil makes the willow heavy and dead.
Storage and moisture
- Store your bat in its cover, in a cool, dry place at room temperature.
- Never leave it in a car boot or near a heater: heat and sudden changes in temperature can cause cracking.
- Keep it out of the rain and damp. If it gets wet, wipe it dry and let it dry naturally at room temperature.
Marks, cracks and repairs
Seam marks and small surface cracks are normal with English Willow and are part of a bat being used. Keep an eye on them, and don't let moisture get into a crack. If you notice anything larger, or you are unsure, send us a photo on WhatsApp or at care@wolfersports.com and we will advise.
Every bat is different, so treat these as general guidance. Your statutory rights are not affected.
