FAQs
Q: Will Hammer Cricket Bat Cover fit both junior and senior cricket bats?
A: The Hammer Cricket Bat Cover is designed primarily for senior/adult short handle bats. While it accommodates most full-size bats (86-90cm), junior bats may have excess space within the cover. For optimal protection of junior equipment, consider dedicated junior-sized covers that provide a more precise fit.
Q: How does Hammer Cricket Bat Cover protect against moisture damage?
A: The cover features a water-resistant polyester outer shell that repels light moisture. However, it is not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain will eventually allow moisture penetration. The ventilation system helps prevent condensation buildup when stored in varying temperatures, which is equally important for willow preservation.
Q: Can Hammer Cricket Bat Cover accommodate bats with pre-fitted bat grips or handle cones?
A: Yes, the Hammer Cricket Bat Cover is designed with sufficient clearance to accommodate bats with standard pre-fitted grips, handle cones, and grip enhancers. The expandable upper section provides flexibility around the handle area without compromising the secure fit around the blade.
Q: How does Hammer Cricket Bat Cover compare to padded wheelie bags for bat protection?
A: This standalone bat cover provides excellent protection for the bat itself but lacks the comprehensive storage of a wheelie bag. For players who transport minimal equipment or have separate storage for pads and gloves, this cover offers focused bat protection with less bulk and weight. For those carrying full kit, a wheelie bag with internal bat compartment might be more practical despite the higher investment.
