Can someone explain the lines on top of cricket bat handle?

Question

I''ve scoured the internet and I can't find a thing. My bat has got two and my brother, who has just got his, has one. Is it something to do with the size or the grade etc.?

Thanks a load

Answer 1

That is designed to absorb the shock when you hit the ball with all your might.

Answer 2

They are shock absorbers (made of rubber)

Answer 3

The bat handle is not solid, it is layered and between each layer is a rubber shock absorber. Two rubber strips is a better quality bat than your bros.

Answer 4
