The SLX is characterised by the extended, low bow which gives it the lowest driving area in the current range. The shape is pulled around a very thick, low edge, carefully profiled and pressed to create substantial bow and immense core strength down through the lower part of the blade. Ideal for batsmen who dominate on the front foot, the SLX is enormously powerful but comfortable and controlled with its precise, handmade balance and Salix signature pickup.
