Hello Laver & Wood cricket bat expert I have used bat & not been played for a while now so do you recommend me to do some oiling and protect it with a anti scuff sheet,or any other suggestion from you so that I could make my bat a good one again.
This is a really great discussion... i wish i'd been able to listen to it when i bought my A61 in 2013. I think i've oiled it too much, but i'm not sure how to tell. It's certainly pretty dark looking, except for in that super high spine; i'd read or heard somewhere you're not supposed to oil the spine at all, but you were not doing the entire back side of the bat. Is that the modern latest scientific idea on best practise, is it?
