Cricket Bat Edge Tape

About this item

Cross-weave fiberglass construction provides enhanced edge reinforcement and impact resistance while preventing scuff damage and extending bat life through targeted application zones.

Key Characteristics:

• Multi-Brand Availability: GM, Gray Nicolls, Kookaburra, and PRO variants ensure compatibility with your preferred equipment ecosystem and consistent performance standards
• Regulation Compliance: Thickness adheres to ICC regulations (maximum 0.1cm) ensuring legal use in all competitive formats without compromising bat specifications
• Edge-Specific Design: 24-25mm width optimally covers bat edges without overlapping onto hitting surfaces, maintaining willow contact integrity
• Fiberglass Construction: Cross-weave fiberglass material delivers superior impact resistance and adhesive bonding compared to standard cloth alternatives
• Extended Length: 10-meter rolls provide sufficient material for multiple applications or complete edge coverage on multiple bats
• Moisture Protection: Water-resistant properties prevent moisture infiltration that causes willow deterioration and grain separation

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does Cricket Bat Edge Tape differ from full face protection sheets?
A: Cricket Bat Edge Tape targets specific vulnerable areas along blade edges where impact damage typically initiates, while face sheets cover the entire hitting surface. Edge tape maintains optimal ball-to-willow contact while providing targeted reinforcement.

Q: Can Cricket Bat Edge Tape be applied over existing cracks?
A: Yes, Cricket Bat Edge Tape effectively reinforces minor edge cracks and prevents progression. However, deep structural damage requires professional repair before tape application for optimal results.

Q: Does Cricket Bat Edge Tape affect bat balance or pickup?
A: Minimal impact due to strategic edge placement and regulation-compliant thickness. The lightweight fiberglass construction maintains bat characteristics while adding negligible weight to non-critical areas.

Q: How long does Cricket Bat Edge Tape adhesion last during regular play?
A: Quality varies between brands, with professional-grade options maintaining adhesion for entire seasons under normal conditions. Adhesive density and sustained performance depend on brand selection, making brand choice crucial for longevity.
