Bat is an important tool for the batsman no doubt. Hence, some players are very particular about the brand or type of bat they use and may not opt for any other. Take the example of Sachin Tendulkar who always used a heavy bat for batting. He also endured injuries time and again probably due to the use of a heavy bat. But no one could convince him to use a lighter bat. According to the talented cricket star himself a lighter bat affected his timing, thus he always stuck to a heavy one.

Every player over a period of time develops his own batting technique and gets comfortable with a specific type of bat and it gets very difficult to get out of this comfort zone. They want to play it their way. Therefore, it is crucial to get comfortable with the right kind of bat as it can also influence your batting style and performance in the long run.
