Puma Iridium 4000 BatIRIDIUM takes its name from a rare metallic element that performs best in extreme conditions, making it the perfect name for PUMAs flagship Cricket collection for 2011 where the highest possible standards of performance and innovation are critical. The Puma Iridium 4000 Short Blade Cricket Bat is made from Grade 2 English Willow. In the SHORT BLADE Bat, the Blade is 25mm shorter than a regular bat and the Handle is 20mm longer than a standard short handle.
The bulk of the driving power is higher up the blade so it is perfectly placed for aggressive, big hitting stroke-play. Reducing bat weight without compromising performance is also a key component of a bat that combines impressive power with high levels of stability and a well balanced feel.
Striking design, innovative thinking and a high attention to detail are hallmarks of a collection aimed at a new generation of high-impact player, delivering extreme performance when conditions demand it.
