- ✔ Shock Absorption: Imported Sarawak cane handle with cork inserts to minimize vibration.
- ✔ Match Ready: Professionally pressed and traditionally shaped for elite performance in the USA.
📌 Detailed Product Description
The SG IK Players Edition is not just a replica—it is a true player-specification bat. Built to the exact requirements of Ishan Kishan, it focuses on high-impact energy transfer. The bat features an enlarged sweet spot (up to 40% larger than standard bats) that provides incredible forgiveness on off-center hits, essential for clearing large Midwest outfields.
The duck-bill toe design removes weight from the base, giving it a "feather-light" pickup that belies its massive profile. This allows for the lightning-fast bat speed needed to combat high-velocity bowling on the hard synthetic and turf tracks common in Naperville and the Chicagoland area. Finished with premium "Player Grade" stickers and a carbon fiber-reinforced toe guard, the IK Players Edition is a long-term investment for serious cricketers looking to dominate at the highest level.
