What does CRC mean please? :)

Never heard of it, got any links to where you read it, typo?

It is from UZI sports site. I've emailed Vickey and Andrew at Salix and asked them what it means.
Made from finest quality Grade 1 English Willow
Flat-Flat (contemporary) face profile
Standard shoulder line
Full backed
very large driving area
Substantial edges.
Deep, long bow.
Unique Salix CRC oval handle
For versatile, talented players
Highest level of English artisan batmaking: individually handmade by Salix.
CNC free: individual in-house pressing and processing from cleft to bat.
Bat Vax toe dipped: especially developed natural, plant based sealer to help prevent water ingress, sealing end grain to protect against cracks.
Trademark Salix angled toe and blended edges to minimise tapping and running in damage, in conjunction with the player’s care and maintenance regime.

Could be wrong but I think a CNC handle is an oval handle which is more rounder than a normal oval handle
So a more rounded oval handle

Damn, no Salix for me then!

I've found this at Aldred's site about CNC. It doesn't appear to be about the handle.
CNC shaping accounts for the majority of all other UK produced cricket bats, reducing hand operated processes and individual treatment of the cleft, blade and bat, therefore making them mass produced
-
Yeah the CNC part just means that some companies put the clefts onto CNC (computerized numerical control) machines to mass produce and replicate shapes almost perfectly every time.
As an engineer myself i'm not opposed to this technique but I guess it just takes away from the whole traditional manner of having a cricket bat made for you.
-
Are we sure it’s a typo for CNC, they’re not exactly next to each other on the keyboard.

I would think it's something to do with rubber and cane.
Compressed rubber and cane
Carved rubber and came.
Coated rubber and cane?

A had noticed that a lot of his videos essentially parroted what he had seen Kember and James Laver saying but I hasn't realised that he was as shameless as this in cutting and pasting material from another brand

Surprised Aldred doesn't mention anything in values about him making "to feel"
Ask for 2'8, receive 2'11 that feels 2'8
-
could it be cork, rubber, cork as in the inserts in the handle rather than all rubber, etc?

As good a guess as any. Someone got a Salix to hand to check?

The 3 I have are all RRR

This thread is awesome, I think you have cracked the code.
If it is right would there actually be any difference in RRR inserts in the handle or Cork Rubber Cork?
It seems such a small difference to be hardly noticeable. :)

To prove your point, thanks

Don't know if it's only about different inserts, but gn predator has thicker handle than kronus, which has 3 cork inserts.

Do you get royalties for shoehorning low grade GN photos into any thread that gains traction?

I'll take it. I took a punt on a Salix from Ebay and fortunately it came off. After twenty years and three Salix bats I bought a Bradbury but after four seasons that has decided to give up the ghost and developed a nasty crack in the bottom. In 1996 my first Salix bat, The Royal was my first bat which cost more than £100, it was £125. This Salix is an AJK player's bat under another name. 'Exclusive to Uzi Sports Exclusive Shape developed with the help of Master Salix bat maker Andrew Kember.' RRP was £550 the Ebay guy bought it for £450. He said the middle was too high for him, but I like the middle to be about 18-20 cms up the bat. Bidding started at £250 but an offer could be made. I offered £275. It is oiled and knocked in well and it doesn't need a scuff. It weights 2lb 8.
