For us it means a bat we can't make to order in unlimited numbers, because supply is decided by the timber rather than by us. The Apex Limited uses Grade 1+ Limited clefts — the exceptional pieces pulled out of a shipment: 8–10 straight grains, tight even spacing, and a face with nothing to explain away. Only a small proportion of any delivery reaches that standard. When those clefts are used, the run pauses until the next shipment produces more.

The two bats are dimensionally identical — same 42mm minimum edge, same 65mm spine, same 1220g minimum, same fixed full profile with no concaving, same five sizes. The difference is entirely the willow. The Inferno uses Grade 1 clefts with 6–7 grains at ₹23,999. The Apex Limited uses Grade 1+ Limited clefts with 8–10 grains at ₹42,999. If you want this shape, the Inferno delivers it. The Apex delivers it in the best willow we put into a power bat.

The Dominator is a conventionally concaved all-round bat at ₹36,999 with 7–9 grains, five sweet spot profiles, seven sizes and a 1150–1250g range. The Apex Limited is a power bat at ₹42,999 with 8–10 grains, one fixed full profile, no concaving, five sizes and a 1220g minimum. Different jobs. Choose the Dominator for all-round stroke play, the Apex if your role is to hit the ball out of the ground.

Concaving is wood scooped from the back of the blade so a maker can advertise tall edges while keeping the bat light enough to sell easily. The Apex Limited keeps every gram the cleft started with. That's why it carries a 1220g minimum and why there's more mass sitting directly behind the ball at contact. You can't have maximum mass and easy pickup at the same time — anyone offering both is concaving the bat.

No. Like the Inferno, it's built in one configuration only — a full profile with no concaving — because that geometry is the purpose of the bat. You still choose your size from five and your handle shape from round, oval or semi-oval. If you want to choose a sweet spot position from our five player profiles, the Dominator at ₹36,999 uses Grade 1+ willow and is fully customisable.

Only if the willow matters to you more than the shape — because the shape is the same. The honest position is that both bats will hit the ball a long way, and the Inferno at ₹23,999 is the better value purchase for most players. The Apex Limited exists for cricketers who want the exceptional clefts in a power profile and understand they're paying for grain quality and scarcity rather than for a different bat.

Five sizes: Harrow, Short Handle (SH), Long Blade (LB), Long Handle (LH) and Long Blade Long Handle (LBLH). Junior sizes aren't offered, because a 1220g minimum is unsuitable for younger players. Choose by height rather than age, and if you're between two sizes take the smaller one.

Around 8–10 hours of mallet work across three to four weeks — a little longer than our concaved bats because there's more willow in the blade and the edges are thicker, and tight-grained timber rewards patience. Follow with old-ball throw-downs before you face a new leather ball. Oil first: two light coats of raw linseed, 24 hours apart, none on the splice or handle.

We don't set a number in advance, because we can't. The run is determined by how many clefts in a given shipment reach the Grade 1+ Limited standard, and that varies from delivery to delivery. If the bat is showing as available, we have clefts. Message us on WhatsApp at +91 95481 82993 with the size you want and we'll tell you honestly what's in stock and when the next shipment is due.

It covers handle failure under normal leather ball cricket use for 12 months from delivery. It does not cover blade damage from mis-hits, damage from wet or waterlogged balls, use in tennis ball cricket, or damage traceable to an incomplete knocking-in process. If something goes wrong, message us on WhatsApp with photos and we'll assess it directly — no retailer in between.
