We offer a personalised Bat ID service for all new Fantail bats.

Choose up to 10 characters to be vinyl cut and applied onto your new Fantail cricket bat.

Please allow an additional 3-6 working days for your service add-ons to be completed.

Knocking In:

We highly recommend giving your new cricket bat the best start to life with a Fantail knocking in service. We apply a coat of linseed oil then combine hand knocking of the edges and toe with our state of the art Smart Knocking in machine to complete the process.

Facings

Facings help protect and prolong the life of your cricket bat by adding a barrier to protect the blade from damage, moisture and dirt. We recommend facings for all cricket bats.

The clear anti-scuff facing with fibre edges is recommended for all bats as it offers a better protective layer than the fibre face.

The fibre facing is a slightly lighter and thinner option which is why you'll notice a lot of professional cricketers use them.

Toe Guard:

A toe guard is designed to protect the toe of a cricket bat from wear and tear and slow down the toe's rate of soaking up moisture.

Our Rubber toe guard adds a thick layer of protection between the toe and surface. It's excellent for preventing excess moisture and damage from crease tapping and sliding your bat.

Our Fibre-Epoxy Toe guard is considerably harder than the rubber option, which supports the vulnerable corners of the toe. If you are a hard crease tapper or have problems with cracking of the toe, then this is the recommended option.

Our Cloth-Epoxy toe guard isn't recommended for new bats. Instead, it's intended for bats that have substantial toe damage. We wrap a high strength water-resistant cloth tape around the base and surrounding areas of the toe, then apply epoxy to harden the structure. This option gives the most significant support and will slow down the rate of further cracking occurring.

Average Weights (this differs based on the thickness of the toe):
Rubber: 4g
Fibre-Epoxy: 9g
Cloth-Epoxy: 11g

FANTAIL PROFILE SHAPE 2

Junior FPS2

Supplement your game and achieve greater power executing your drives.

The Junior FPS2 shape is all about finding the balance between the pickup and performance. We achieve this by maintaining a high rolling spine leading into a power-packed mid to low sweet spot. From its peak, the spine runs into a duckbill toe, which improves the pick-up by removing willow through the toe.

This shape will improve your performance off the front foot and allow you to play cross-batted shots with ease and confidence.

CONSTRUCTION

This bat conforms to MCC Law 5 bat regulations, which means that the bat needs will fit through an approved bat gauge with maximum dimensions of 108mm in blade width, 67mm in spine height with 40mm edges

Spine & Edge

You can expect the edge and spine to peak in the centre of the hitting zone. The edge and spine height will differ based on the weight & size you select, plus the density of the willow used. However, the edge will be between 30mm & 40mm and the spine between 48mm & 67mm.

Bow & Face

Our pressing technique generates a balanced bowed blade to deliver increased power and control. Our modern face allows for enhanced shot placement. The edges are boned (hardened) to strengthen and decrease the chance of cracking.

PROFILE

FULL TO SEMI-CONCAVED

The profile refers to the amount of scallop between the edge and spine. The FPS1 has a semi-concaved to full profile, equivalent to scalloping between 0mm and 4mm. This differs based on the weight, size you select, and the density of the willow used.

HANDLE SHAPE

Semi-oval

The semi-oval handle is our most popular choice as it gives you the best of both styles. It allows for a consistent and comfortable feel for most batsmen. The semi-oval shape on the bottom hand also gives the bat a better directional feel & means that the bottom hand isn't dominant, enabling the top hand to control the shot.

TOE SHAPE

SEMI-ROUND

Compared to a square toe, a semi-round toe increases the longevity of the bat by removing the sharp, vulnerable corners that can lead to cracking. The semi-round toe also assists you in sliding your bat into the crease with ease.

BAT WEIGHTS

The general rule is that light bats are for the controlled players, and slightly heavier bats are for the aggressive and attacking stroke-makers.

Heavier bats have a slower bat speed than lighter bats. The effort required to move the bat increases as its weight increases. A lighter bat will allow faster bat speed and increase the chance of middling the ball. A heavier bat will not be comparatively easy to middle the ball with, but it will stay hit when you connect with it.

Light: We recommend this weight range if you have a slimmer build within the recommended height. Sometimes a standard weight can feel too heavy, and it's essential to have a bat that you can control and feel confident using.

Standard: If you're of a standard build for your height, this range is an excellent balance between bat speed and bat performance. It also allows for a regular weight increase of 2 -3oz when moving to the next size.

Heavy: Heavy bats will reduce your hand speed and affect your ability to time the ball consistently. This weight range is for players who want to score their runs through boundaries and enjoy a large and imposing bat.
