Why Choose WAFT?

WAFT Sports Ltd are dedicated to developing and producing the best rounders equipment possible.  

WAFT Superbat

The original Superbat.  Designed in 1980 by the founders of WAFT Sports:  Alan Fergus and Terry Woolhouse MBE and benefitting from their unrivalled experience of all things rounders.

Manufacture was subcontracted to a UK company specialising in forming aluminium tubes to aerospace standards.  The same company continues to manufacture the Superbat today.

Special care is taken to ensure the grip and end cap are comfortable and secure.

Widely regarded as the best metal rounders bat on the market and the preferred bat of many experienced players.

WAFT Carbon Fibre Superbat

Manufactured from modern advanced composite materials comprising high strength fibres and thermosetting epoxy resin.

Taking advantage of the low density of carbon fibre composites, we were able to design a bat with an increased diameter whilst retaining the same weight and balance as our original Superbat.

Using a custom developed rebound test rig, we investigated a wide range of different constructions.   We determined the optimum alignment of fibres in the different layers in order to maximise the rebound properties of the laminate. The result is a bat that propels a ball significantly further than conventional bats.

Another benefit immediately apparent when hitting the ball, is the superb vibration damping provided by these materials.  There is very little shock and vibration transferred to the hand and arm.  The bat is particularly comfortable and arm friendly - especially suited to big hitters and frequent players.

WAFT Superball

The original Superball.  Made from the softest and most supple part of the hide to ensure it retains its flexibility for years.  Hand stitched over a top quality cork core with special care taken to secure the loose ends of the thread.
