Title: Ebay Wavex
Post by: Urame on July 01, 2014, 07:50:44 AM: Hi all,

I happened to be fortunate enough to pick a Wavex up on Ebay, the guy I bought it off paid 200+ at the start of last season, spent most of last season opening it up with a mallet, managed to play 5 games with it then his back went.

In short I paid a very cut price for a knocked in, barely used Wavex and I have to say... It is a gun!

Certainly a head turner as well, everyone in the changing room picked it up and waved it around and left me grinning like a proud father.

If you get a chance to have a go with one of these. Do it! Though not mine, thats for my hands only!

Mate he hasn't even been online on the forum for close to a year, I'm gonna say the pictures aren't coming!

The bat never existed, so instead of coming clean he's done a runner ;)

The wavex handle is bobbly

What does this wobbly handle achieve?

I would assume the bobbles give a ridged effect aiming to make it less likely to slip in the hand

I'd be very surprised if it was wobbly!

That's strange, some items are bobbly to enhance the feel of vibration...

Post by: mace9960 on July 31, 2016, 01:00:47 PM: Kippax Website Description:- Wavex is a unique cricket bat handle designed to improve power and drive by re diverting energy from the handle to the ball impact point.How does it work?
The WAVEX incorporates a unique wave structure into the cricket bat handle. This wave (or ripple) is designed to vastly reduce friction/vibration by dampening and redirecting this energy back to the impact point and so transferring more energy back tot he ball. In conventional bats energy travels along a straight line form the impact to the handle, In a WAVEX this is prevented by the cutting edge wave system.
