English Willow is the only suitable wood. The best type is English Willow Grade 1+. The worst type in terms of performance is Grade 4 English Willow, although it is still perfectly capable for club cricket. Kashmir willow should never be used as it WILL brake easily. DON'T be attracted by the price, you get what you pay for.

There was a famous incident back in the 1970s when Dennis Lillee tried using an aluminum bat, but the authorities didn't take kindly to it and amended the laws so that willow was the only permitted material.
