i think the Salix Pr stantia bat is a lovely piece of wood it hits very well and is very light.

This is an amazing bat get one, the edges are a little bit thin but its got a huge sweet spot and I can get great power. Definitely recommend it.

I have had this Salix Pr stantia bat for 4 months and have enjoyed getting better and better results out of it.
My batting performance at first was dodgy but now I have got used to it, I now bat 5 for my school.
I totally recommend it even though it costs a lot

After a lifetime of using 2lb 14oz Fearnleys I chose a Salix Praestantia after borrowing a friend's.

It took a season to get totally used to it, but in it's second season it seems to have matured and really come into it's own.

If I time one and it comes out of the middle I can forget about running a quick single, the ball races away. You can tell it's a quality piece of wood just by looking at the grain and by picking it up.

If you can negotiate a discount from the seller definitely get one, but even with no reduction this is a great bat. I can't see myself using a bat from another maker.

A Pr stantia doesn't come cheap. But you will be purchasing an excellent bat that will get better and better with use. Maintain this wood well and it will reward you with that all familiar "ping" when you strike the ball of the middle. All I can say is: Never mind the "big names",GET A PR STANTIA
