SS Master 5000 English Willow Cricket Bat

Maintaining balance in a bat with a low to mid sweet spot can be challenging due to the slight shift in weight towards the lower part of the bat. However, SS Cricket has skillfully addressed this issue by shaping the toe in a unique way, combining a slightly rounded and flat design. This innovative approach ensures that players can enjoy a well-balanced bat without compromising on performance.

The SS Master 5000 made with a fullback profile on the backside with minimal concavity. This design is optimized to ensure the perfect weight and balance, allowing for maximum power during play. With this fullback profile and carefully balance weight, players can expect a powerhouse performance from the SS Master 5000, renowned for its remarkable ability to deliver powerful shots.

The edge profile of the bat measures approximately 38 to 40 mm and is paired with a flat face, resulting in devastating power on shots. To maximize this power, SS employs an optimized compression willow technique, creating a uniform grain compression that translates to a powerful bat face. This technique ensures that each shot has the potential to make a significant impact.

Made from the finest quality and picked Grade 3 English willow, the SS Master 5000 undergoes a natural processing method that imparts a perfect grain structure. This process results in a lightweight, yet incredibly durable bat that is perfect for professional play. Typically featuring around 5 to 7 straight grains, this Grade 3 English willow bat benefits from advanced processing techniques that enhance its performance and longevity.

The weight of the SS Master 5000 varies from 1180 grams to 1220 grams. Khelmart recommends an ideal weight range of 1170 to 1180 grams for all-round cricket players, as this range provides maximum side edge and a significant amount of wood positioned behind the sweet spot, delivering extra power in shots.

The handle is a crucial component of the SS Master 5000, designed to withstand the high-impact forces from ball hits while transferring maximum energy to the cricket ball. SS used a 9-piece cane handle laminated with leather lining, offering an ideal combination of rigidity and durability. This 9-piece Swark cane handle with cork lining is widely regarded as the best handle for top-grade English willow bats.

SS includes a high-quality cricket bat cover with each SS Master 5000 bat, made of PU, 6x6 fabric, and other premium materials. The cover is designed to protect the bat from dents and potential damages, featuring a padded inner lining, high-quality zippers, and shoulder straps for easy transport.

To ensure authenticity, SS Cricket uses a comprehensive 3-point authenticity check for all English and Kashmir Willow Cricket bats:

1. This includes a stretchable barcode on the back of the bat, which reveals an authentication number that can be verified on the SS Cricket website or through the SS mobile app.
2. Additionally, a unique 3D hologram on the back of the bat displays the SS name from all angles, ensuring players are investing in 100% authentic and genuine cricket equipment.
3. All SS English Willow cricket bats undergo rigorous quality checks at the SS bat factory, further assuring the quality of the product.
