Description
SG HP 150 English Willow Cricket Bat
The HP 150 is the entry model in SG's HP range, the line SG builds around Hardik Pandya. It is a genuine English willow blade aimed at club cricketers who want a real leather-ball bat without paying players-grade money. SG has been making cricket equipment since 1931 and produces its bats out of Meerut, India.
Why Players Choose the HP 150
This bat comes in short handle, the standard adult size, and we stock it in both light and medium pick-up so you can match the blade to how you actually bat. Lighter suits quick hands and late adjustment; medium gives you more weight behind the ball through the line.
Because the blade is English willow rather than Kashmir, it compresses and rebounds properly once knocked in, and the sweet spot opens up with use instead of staying dead. That is the real difference between a leather-ball bat and a starter bat.

FAQ Section
Q1: Does this bat need knocking in? Yes. Like any English willow bat it needs knocking in and gradual net use before you face a hard leather ball with it in a match.
Q2: How do I look after an English willow bat? Oil the face lightly with raw linseed a couple of times a season, keep an anti-scuff sheet and toe guard on it, and store it dry and away from direct heat.
Q3: Should I take the light or the medium? Light suits players who rely on timing and quick hands. Medium suits players who like to feel weight behind the shot. Both are the same blade.
Q4: Is this a full-size adult bat? Yes. Short handle is the standard adult size and generally suits players from around 5ft 9in upward.
Q5: Can I use it with a tennis ball? You can, but it is built for leather-ball cricket and will last far longer used that way.
Q6: How does it compare to the SG HP Icon? The HP 150 sits below the Icon in the HP range. The Icon is built on higher-selection willow and priced accordingly.
Q7: Do you ship from the US? Yes. Every order ships from our Edison, New Jersey location, with free US shipping on orders over $100.
