legal and allowed to be used in all levels of cricket. They conform to
the new version of Law 6 and Appendix E, which came into force on 1st

4. The Mongoose has been scientifically proven by
Imperial College to offer batsmen 20% more power and 15% more bat speed
than a conventional bat

5. The Mongoose allows you to hit harder & further without changing the way you play

The splice, usually located in the blade of the bat, is incorporated in
the handle, which ensures there is no dead spot in the hitting area of

bat by dropping them down nine inches. The weight taken from the
shoulders – about 20 per cent of the blade weight – is redistributed to
the back of the new, shorter blade
