Description
SG KLR 250 English Willow Cricket Bat with STR8Bat Sensor
The KLR 250 sits in SG's KLR range, the line built around KL Rahul, and ships with the STR8Bat sensor fitted. That combination is the point of this bat: a genuine English willow blade for leather-ball cricket, plus swing data on your phone after every session. SG has been making cricket equipment since 1931 out of Meerut, India.
Why Players Choose the KLR 250
The STR8Bat sensor mounts to the bat and tracks your bat speed, swing path and impact position, then feeds it to the STR8Bat app. Instead of guessing why you keep getting a leading edge, you get numbers on where the ball is actually meeting the blade.
Underneath the tech it is a straightforward English willow short handle bat in the light pick-up band. The blade compresses and rebounds properly once knocked in, and the sweet spot opens up with use rather than staying dead the way Kashmir willow does.

FAQ Section
Q1: Is the STR8Bat sensor included? Yes. This listing is for the bat supplied with the sensor.
Q2: Does the sensor need an app? Yes, the STR8Bat app. Check the current device and account requirements with STR8Bat before ordering if that matters to you.
Q3: Does this bat need knocking in? Yes. Like any English willow bat it needs knocking in and gradual net use before facing a hard leather ball in a match.
Q4: 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.
Q5: Is this a full-size adult bat? Yes. Short handle is the standard adult size and generally suits players from around 5ft 9in upward.
Q6: Can I take the sensor off? Yes, it is a mounted accessory rather than part of the blade, so you can bat with or without it.
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.
