Description
The SG RP Blitz Combo Cricket Bat in Short Handle is a full-size adult bat made for leather ball cricket. It pairs an English willow striking face with a Kashmir willow base, giving players a responsive hitting surface on a sturdier, longer-lasting body. Built on a traditional shape and weighing around 1160 to 1230 grams, this English willow cricket bat suits club and league cricketers who want genuine willow response without an all-English-willow price.
TWO-WILLOW COMBO CONSTRUCTION
English Willow Face, Kashmir Willow Base
This combo bat uses two willows. The front striking face is English willow, the wood known for its responsive feel at contact, while the back and base use Kashmir willow, which adds structure and helps the bat hold up to regular play. The face is hard-pressed and traditionally shaped, giving the blade a conventional profile with thick edges and a clean playing area for both front-foot and back-foot strokes.
HANDLE AND GRIP
Imported Cane Handle with Cork Inserts
The handle is made from imported cane with special-formulation cork inserts. The cork layers add flexibility and absorb impact when the ball strikes the face, reducing the jarring felt through the hands. A traditional round cane handle shape, fitted with a Chevtec grip, supports a natural hold and helps adult players keep bat control through full-swing strokes.
WEIGHT AND BALANCE
Full-Size Short Handle at Around 1160-1230 Grams
This short handle cricket bat weighs approximately 1160 to 1230 grams, a typical range for an adult full-size bat. Exact weight varies slightly with natural wood, as willow is an organic material. The traditional shape keeps the weight distributed for a balanced feel during stroke play, suited to players who want a manageable pickup with enough mass behind the ball.
WHO THIS ENGLISH WILLOW CRICKET BAT SUITS
Built for Adult Leather Ball Cricket
This is a full-size SH bat for adult players, suited to intermediate and advanced cricketers competing in nets, club matches and weekend league fixtures. As an English willow bat for leather ball use, the combo construction makes it a practical pick for players who want a more responsive face than an all-Kashmir bat while keeping the durability and value of a two-willow build. A curved blade and built-in toe protection round out a bat made for regular match play.
