What is the Balance' of a cricket bat? What is the difference between the mid-profile and low-profile balance of bats?
The balance of a cricket bat is defined by the proportion of weight distribution along the bat. Higher weight distribution towards the handle of the bat makes the bat feel light and provides easy bat pick up (Mid Profile Balance). Higher weight distribution towards the toe end of the bat increases the power of your shots through a more power-filled bat swing (Low Profile Balance)

Wood Details
English willow is a soft, lightweight wood that is grown in England.
