we have just uploaded a new video explaining and talking a bit about our wavex handle and how it works. search kippax cricket on youtube to find it feel free to like share and subscribe or ask any other questions on this topic thank you.

Thanks for putting an explanation on Youtube. Very interesting.
So, not only does it reduce vibrations in the hand (not an issue I notice when I bat), but it redirects energy back into the blade, thus increasing the rebound effect. I am not sure I follow the science, but good to see new innovations.

thank you for sharing on your page much appreciated. as for the science behind it vibration travels in a straight line so in a standard oval handle the vibration just goes up your handle and into your wrist and elbows. where as with the wavex handle when we sent it for testing it showed that the vibration could not travel up the handle because of the the waves and ripples there for forcing the vibrations back down towards the center off your bat giving you a extra 40/50 percent power in your shots.

@Kippax am I right in thinking the Wavex handle only has a single rubber insert?

Was this tested with the traditional 2 and 3 inserts too during the early stages?

I'm curious as to why you've gone for less, while other makers are producing handles with 5 or 7 now

Is that documented? Seems an incredibly high increase in energy transfer

Would also be keen to see more info on the testing that just the graph, if only from a science/engineering geek pov.

Same here, just genuinely interested!

because of the wavex configuration the handle already has more spring in than a stand handle so only one is needed also with the waves in the handle if we had 3 springs they would end up running to close together in the bat

Interesting!

50% more power in your shots - just wondering if all the pros know this and use your handles and if not why not !? Thats quite a claim - 10% would be useful to a batsman but as much as 50% more power in your shots ? Thats an absolutely massive increase not small gains. I too would like to see the scientific data behind this innovation.

[prim0pyr0]

Im asuming it's 50% of the power lost from a conventional handle, not total power

[WSB]

giving you a extra 40/50 percent power in your shots.

The claim is an increase in 40/50 percent power in your shots

[enlightened]

Seems improbable..... but I'd be happy to be convinced!!

50% less energy was felt at the top of the WAVEX handle, rather than travelling to the handle, this energy was re-directed to the ball impact point

is what it states.
