The EM Nova Blast brings genuine hand-selected English willow to the crease at an accessible price point, making it a great entry into premium bat performance. Built with a high-grade willow cleft and 6-8 straight grains, the blade delivers the crisp ping and consistent rebound English willow is known for, without the premium-tier price tag.

The Nova Blast's mid-to-low profile and gently curved blade extend the sweet spot lower down the face, so both front-foot drives and back-foot punches find the middle more often. A semi-oval cane handle absorbs shock through impact and keeps the pickup light and manoeuvrable in the hands.

Weighing in around the typical short-handle mark once finished, this is a genuinely balanced bat for club and school-level batters who want English willow feel and rebound without stepping up to EM's flagship 360 or SAI ranges.
