📌 Detailed Description: Precision Performance for the Midwest
The KG Viper is the choice for the modern cricketer who refuses to choose between power and control. In the USA's evolving cricket landscape—where players transition from indoor winter training to high-stakes summer tournaments—the Viper’s versatility shines. Its unique profile features a high spine that doesn't terminate early, ensuring that even "timed" shots off the toe or shoulders have enough energy to reach the fence.
Handcrafted in the legendary workshops of Meerut and optimized for the Midwest climate, the Viper’s willow is seasoned to resist the cracking common in dry American conditions. The slightly rounded face helps in "working" the ball into gaps, making it the ultimate tool for the technical stroke-maker who likes to accelerate the scoring rate in the later overs.

📌 Why KG Viper Cricket Bat
1. The "Viper" Aerodynamic Edge
The secret to the Viper’s popularity in Illinois is its weight distribution. By strategically concaving the back of the bat while maintaining a 40mm edge, we have created a blade that swings faster than a traditional "chunk" bat. This allows you to tackle the extra bounce of USA pitches with confidence.
2. Engineered for Naperville’s Elite
From the local nets at Commissioners Park to professional setups across the Midwest, the KG Viper has been tested against the fastest bowling in the region. Its high-grain willow provides a distinctive "sound of quality" that only premium English timber can produce.
3. Triple-Spring Shock Absorption
Long sessions in the nets can take a toll on your joints. Our Singapore cane handle features three distinct layers of rubber and cork "springs." This technology dampens the vibration of 85mph+ deliveries, allowing you to bat for hours without fatigue or "hand-sting."
4. Sustainable Durability
We understand that a cricket bat is an investment. Every KG Viper is treated with a natural wax finish to preserve moisture balance, essential for the fluctuating seasons of the American Midwest. This ensures your bat stays "lively" and responsive season after season.
