Description
- remodelled for 2019
- traditionally rounder pressed face
- targeted pressing: rerunning through the driving area
- full back profile with minimal concaving
- concentration of wood through bat’s core
- core strength for a powerful light bat
- edgeshape following the back profile
- very gentle bow
- mid driving area
- smooth, rounded toe
- slimmer semi-oval handle
- for classical players
- exquisite new white labels with textured metallic blue, matt and gloss black highlights
- highest level of English artisan batmaking: individually handmade by Salix
- CNC free manufacturing, individual in-house pressing and processing from cleft to bat
- The SLX is that rare bat – lighter in physical weight, elegantly scaled back but still enormously powerful and controlled.
- Making a lighter bat is not about simple reduction of dimension, but understanding where the power originates and balancing each element precisely to maximise drive.
- Power comes from core strength, the weight of willow through the core of the bat, so the SLX shares the substantial core of the X and Pod, but the shoulders and edges have been slimmed to achieve the lightest pick-up.
- An extended low bow then leads naturally into the lower driving area.
- The SLX has a beautiful profile showcasing classic handmaking, underpinned by very advanced manufacturingto ensure sublime performance in the lighter range.
