SS Retro Classic Royal Cricket Bat is an ideal choice for someone looking for their first English Willow bat. This bat is designed for good balance, pick up and performance, The large sweet spot and edges means you will get value for your shots.

• SWEET SPOT POSITION = Mid to Low: This is world class professional bat at its own. This means you can enjoy strokes on the front and back foot on all types of wickets  This popular sweet spot position creates a balanced pickup
• BOW = Slight Bow: This is a combination of the traditional and large bow which is the most common when making a cricket bat. Indian sub-continental shapes are typically seen with a more pronounced bow enabling the sweet spot to be lower on the blade, ideal for play on slow and low pitches.
• EDGES = Big
• PROFILE SHAPE = Duckbill: A duck bill profile adds thickness to the toe yet aiding pickup for a better balanced bat. This is the bat profile preferred by many international players due to the balance and amount of wood left in the bat in the hitting zone. Perfect for front foot players and on slow low English wickets. This bat is designed for big hitters and for clearing the ropes effortlessly.
• FACE = Flat Face: This was a face profile that was introduced in the early 2000’s. It is done to give the appearance of the big bats we all know today. It allows the bat maker to press the bat lighter and get a great ping in the sweet spot. It takes a touch longer for the bat to 'open up' but once it does the ball stays hit.
• TOE = Natural

Please note that because cricket bats are crafted from natural materials, the bat you receive may look different from the images shown. Each bat is one-of-a-kind.
