SS Ton Gladiator English Willow Cricket Bat (Standard Size Short Handle)

About the Willow:

Crafted from carefully selected, high-quality English willow, the SS Gladiator undergoes a natural processing method, resulting in a flawless grain structure and an exceptionally lightweight English willow bat. This premium cricket bat epitomizes excellence with approximately 9 to 12 straight grains.

Special attention is given to managing the moisture content, ensuring optimized levels that enhance durability and overall performance.

Bat Profile:

Within the SS range, the SS Gladiator stands out as a premier cricket bat. This outstanding bat features a profile with a low to mid sweet spot on its spine.

Balancing a bat with a low to mid sweet spot can be challenging due to the weight distribution leaning towards the lower point. However, SS Cricket addresses this skillfully by shaping the toe uniquely, incorporating a blend of subtle rounding and flatness. This design ensures superb balance, making the bat an exceptional choice.

While the overall profile is characterized as low to mid, the back profile appears full. SS incorporates a touch of concaving on the backside, contributing to impeccable ping, allowing for perfect shots even when the ball makes slightly off-center contact.

Handle Construction:

The handle is a crucial component of any cricket bat, needing to be robust enough to withstand ball strikes while maximizing energy transfer. The SS Gladiator employs a 12-piece cane handle, further laminated with cork lining for an ideal combination of rigidity and durability. This handle design is considered the best choice for top-grade English willow bats.

Bat Weight:

This remarkable bat weighs between 1140 grams to 1200 grams. At Khelmart, players can specify their preferred weight during the order process, with cricket experts selecting the bat to align with the specified weight requirements. The exceptional balance ensures that even a bat weighing around 1190 grams feels as light as 1140 grams, thanks to its lightweight pickup.

Bat Cover:

The SS Gladiator comes equipped with a high-quality cricket bat cover made from PU, 6x6 fabric, and other top-notch materials. Purpose-built to shield the bat from unwanted dents and potential damages, the cover features inner lining padding, high-quality zippers, and convenient hand straps for easy transportation.

Authenticity of SS Bats:

1. To ensure authenticity, SS conducts a stringent 3-point authenticity check for all English and Kashmir Willow cricket bats.

2. SS provides a stretchable barcode on the back of the bat, revealing the authentication number, which players can verify on the SS Cricket website or using the SS Mobile app.

3. A unique 3D hologram on the backside of the bat, visible from all angles, features the SS name within the hologram.

4. All SS English Willow cricket bats undergo a rigorous quality check at the SS bat factory. Following this quality assessment, SS applies a unique quality check mark on the back of the bat. Players are encouraged to verify these steps to ensure the authenticity of their SS cricket bats.
