ARMOUR Grade 2 English Willow Cricket Bat – Premium Duckbill Profile | Senior SH & LB

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

ARMOUR GRADE 2 – EXCEPTIONAL PING. EXPLOSIVE POWER. PERFECT BALANCE.

Introducing the ARMOUR Grade 2 English Willow Cricket Bat – Premium Duckbill Profile Edition, an exceptional high-performance cricket bat designed for players who demand outstanding willow quality, explosive hitting power, effortless pickup, and superior batting control.

Expertly crafted from premium, hand-selected Grade 2 English Willow, this cricket bat combines excellent natural responsiveness, impressive rebound characteristics, and professional-inspired craftsmanship to deliver outstanding performance at the crease.

Featuring a professionally crafted duckbill blade profile, thick edges, a pronounced spine, and carefully optimised weight distribution, the ARMOUR Grade 2 Duckbill Edition is engineered to deliver an exceptional combination of power, balance, and precision.

The distinctive duckbill toe design reduces unnecessary weight towards the lower section of the blade, helping create a smoother pickup and faster bat swing without sacrificing the powerful hitting characteristics of the bat.

Available in Short Handle (SH) and Long Blade (LB), the ARMOUR Grade 2 Duckbill Edition features two specially designed sweet spot configurations:

• Short Handle (SH): Powerful mid-to-low sweet spot, ideal for aggressive front-foot batting, commanding drives, and explosive boundary hitting.

• Long Blade (LB): Strategically positioned mid sweet spot, designed for versatile stroke play, exceptional balance, and outstanding all-round batting performance.

The range also features premium Round and Semi-Oval Cane Handle configurations, with the handle shape varying according to the individual bat model.

Whether you're an aggressive opening batter, a technically sound top-order player, or a powerful middle-order stroke-maker, the ARMOUR Grade 2 Duckbill Edition is designed to provide outstanding ping, smooth pickup, and confidence at the crease.

PREMIUM GRADE 2 ENGLISH WILLOW – EXCEPTIONAL PING & REBOUND

At ARMOUR, exceptional batting performance begins with premium willow selection.

The ARMOUR Grade 2 Duckbill Edition is manufactured using carefully hand-selected Grade 2 English Willow, chosen for its excellent grain structure, natural responsiveness, impressive rebound characteristics, and outstanding hitting potential.

Each blade is individually assessed to maintain high standards of willow quality, craftsmanship, and overall batting performance.

The premium willow construction is designed to deliver exceptional ping, powerful ball rebound, and excellent energy transfer, allowing players to generate impressive hitting power with confidence.

Offering an outstanding combination of premium willow quality, responsive performance, and excellent value, the ARMOUR Grade 2 Duckbill Edition is an ideal choice for serious cricketers seeking high-performance English willow without the premium price of Players Grade bats.

PREMIUM DUCKBILL PROFILE – POWER MEETS EFFORTLESS PICKUP

The standout feature of the ARMOUR Grade 2 Duckbill Edition is its professionally crafted duckbill blade profile, engineered to provide exceptional balance, impressive bat speed, and powerful stroke-making performance.

Unlike traditional full-profile cricket bats, the duckbill design features a distinctive taper towards the toe, helping reduce unnecessary weight in the lower portion of the blade.

This carefully engineered design allows the bat to maintain thick edges, a powerful hitting area, and a pronounced spine, while improving weight distribution and pickup.

The result is an exceptionally balanced cricket bat that feels responsive in the hands and allows players to generate impressive bat speed with less effort.

The duckbill profile is particularly suited to batters who prefer a combination of explosive hitting power, quick hands, and excellent bat control.

Whether executing perfectly timed drives, powerful pulls, aggressive lofted strokes, or controlled defensive shots, the ARMOUR Grade 2 Duckbill Edition offers outstanding versatility across different batting styles.

SHORT HANDLE (SH) – MID-TO-LOW SWEET SPOT

EXPLOSIVE FRONT-FOOT POWER. EXCEPTIONAL PICKUP.

The ARMOUR Grade 2 Duckbill Short Handle (SH) features a powerful mid-to-low sweet spot, specifically designed for aggressive front-foot batting and commanding stroke play.

The strategically positioned hitting zone provides impressive power through straight drives, cover drives, flicks, and aggressive lofted shots.

1. 10-Day Returns, Change of Mind & Incorrect or Faulty Products

At Wiz Sports, we want our customers to shop with confidence. Please carefully review the following terms regarding change-of-mind returns, store credits, exchanges, damaged or incorrectly supplied products, and products that are excluded from our standard change-of-mind return policy.

These terms apply in addition to any rights and remedies you may have under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). Nothing in this policy is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any rights that cannot legally be excluded.

1.1 Change of Mind – No Cash Refunds

Wiz Sports does not provide refunds for change-of-mind purchases.

A change of mind includes circumstances where:

• You no longer want or need the product.
• You do not like the product after receiving it.
• You have changed your preference regarding colour, model, design or other product characteristics.
• You have ordered the incorrect size or selected the wrong product.
• You have found the product cheaper elsewhere.
• You expected something different, but the product supplied is consistent with the description, specifications and images provided on our website.
• You simply decide that you would prefer not to keep the product.

However, as a customer service gesture, Wiz Sports may accept an eligible change-of-mind return within 10 days of delivery and issue store credit, subject to the conditions below.

1.2 10-Day Store Credit for Eligible Change-of-Mind Returns

If you change your mind about an eligible product, you must contact Wiz Sports within 10 days of receiving your order.

To qualify for store credit, the returned product must:

• Be completely unused and unworn.
• Be in its original condition.
• Have no damage, marks, dirt, odours, alterations or signs of use.
• Be returned with its original packaging.
• Have all original tags, labels, manuals, accessories and components attached or included.

If the returned product does not meet these requirements, we may decline the change-of-mind return.

1.3 Store Credit Amount & Shipping Costs

For an approved change-of-mind return, Wiz Sports will issue store credit rather than a cash refund.

The store credit will be based on the eligible amount paid for the returned product.

Original shipping and delivery costs are not included in change-of-mind store credit.

Where Wiz Sports incurred an actual shipping cost to send the original order, including where discounted or promotional shipping was offered to the customer, the applicable actual shipping cost may be deducted from the store credit where permitted.

The customer is also responsible for the cost of returning a change-of-mind product to Wiz Sports.

We strongly recommend using a tracked shipping service when returning products, as the customer remains responsible for the parcel until it is received by Wiz Sports.

1.4 Size, Colour or Product Exchanges

If you have ordered the wrong size, colour or model and would like to exchange it, please contact us within the applicable return period.

Where the original product is eligible for a change-of-mind return, we may arrange an exchange or provide store credit so you can select another product.

For change-of-mind exchanges, the customer is generally responsible for:

• The cost of returning the original product; and
• Any applicable shipping cost for sending the replacement product.

Any difference in price between the original and replacement products will also need to be paid before the replacement is dispatched.

1.5 Damaged, Faulty or Incorrectly Supplied Products

If you receive a product that is damaged, faulty, materially different from its description, or different from the product you ordered, please contact Wiz Sports as soon as possible.

We may ask you to provide photographs, videos or other reasonable information so we can assess the issue.

Where a return is reasonably required for assessment, Wiz Sports may provide a prepaid return shipping label for the product to be returned to us.

Once the product is received, it will be inspected and assessed.

Where appropriate, we may arrange a replacement, repair, refund or other remedy in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law.

If a replacement is the appropriate remedy and the product is available, we can arrange for the correct or replacement product to be sent after the original product has been returned and assessed.

Customers will not be required to pay return shipping costs where Wiz Sports has supplied an incorrect product or where Wiz Sports is responsible for an eligible faulty or damaged product return, subject to applicable consumer law.

1.6 Cricket Bats That Have Been Prepared or Customised

Change-of-mind returns, exchanges and store credits are not available for cricket bats that have been prepared, altered or customised at the customer's request.

This includes, but is not limited to, bats that have undergone:

• Knocking-in
• Oiling
• Extratec or protective sheet application
• Toe guard installation
• Grip changes or additional grips
• Weight reduction
• Bat preparation or match-ready services
• Custom modifications
• Any other preparation or alteration requested by the customer

Once preparation or customisation has commenced, the cricket bat can no longer be treated as a standard unused product and therefore cannot ordinarily be returned simply because the customer has changed their mind.

This exclusion applies specifically to change-of-mind returns and does not remove any rights or remedies that may apply under the Australian Consumer Law if the product or service has a problem covered by the ACL.

1.7 Hygiene & Personal-Use Products

For hygiene and health reasons, certain products may not be accepted for a change-of-mind return or exchange once used, worn, opened or otherwise rendered unsuitable for resale.

This may include certain protective equipment, apparel, compression garments, personal-use accessories and other hygiene-sensitive products.

Where applicable, the product must remain unused, unworn, unopened where relevant, and in its original packaging to be considered for a change-of-mind return.

This hygiene exclusion does not limit any rights a customer may have under the Australian Consumer Law where a product is faulty, defective, incorrectly supplied or otherwise fails to meet a consumer guarantee.

1.8 Inspection of Returned Products

All returned products are subject to inspection by Wiz Sports.

Receiving a returned product does not automatically mean that a return, exchange or store credit has been approved.

We will inspect the product to confirm its condition and whether it meets the applicable return requirements.

For change-of-mind returns, Wiz Sports may decline the return where the product:

• Has been used or worn.
• Has been damaged after delivery.
• Is dirty, marked or has an odour.
• Is missing packaging, tags or accessories.
• Has been altered or customised.
• Is no longer suitable to be sold as new.
• Falls within an excluded change-of-mind category.

1.9 Australian Consumer Law

Our change-of-mind policy is separate from your statutory rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Where goods have a major or minor failure, are unsafe, are not of acceptable quality, do not match their description or otherwise fail to comply with applicable consumer guarantees, the remedies available will be determined in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law.

In summary: Wiz Sports does not provide cash refunds simply because a customer changes their mind. Eligible unused products may be returned within 10 days for store credit, excluding applicable shipping costs. Faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied products are handled separately in accordance with this policy and the Australian Consumer Law.
