Kippax Cricket Bats 2008

Wavex Handle Information

Kippax have introduced the concept of Wavex handles into our made in England cricket bats.

Kippax Willow Ltd have the sole marketing and distributions rights with Wavex International for the Wavex Cricket Bat Handle.

The Wavex handle is unique as it incorporates a 'wave' structure in the handle. The wave (or ripple) is designed to vastly reduce friction/vibration by dampening. This is achieved by the friction/vibration coming up the bat after hitting the ball and hitting the waves in the handle. As energy will run along a straight line (as in a normal handle), it cannot run up and down repeated waves.

By testing 2 identical bats made from the same tree, one with a standard 'straight' handle and one with a Wavex handle the results are staggering;Nearly 50% less engery was felt at the top of the Wavex handle, or in other words 50% energy was re-directed back to the ball impact point. We like to call it 'less engery/power loss

Quote from United Controls International Inc,
Tucker, Georgia, USA (Independently Tested):
“The power ratio when measured in reference to angular ball speed (the amount of force striking the bat) is significantly greater with the waves over the bat without the waves. Higher dampening of vibration waves in all axis tend to indicate more energy transfer from the bat to the ball.

We conclude from our tests that the wavex design
significantly improves the power ratio of the bat by up to 50%
