Description
SG KLR-Class English Willow Cricket Bat
The KLR-Class sits in the upper half of SG's KLR range, the line built around KL Rahul. It is a high-selection English willow bat for batters who want a proper KLR blade without going all the way to the players edition. SG has been making cricket equipment since 1931 out of Meerut, India.
Why Players Choose the KLR-Class
Rahul's game is built on balance and playing the ball late, and the KLR blades are shaped with that in mind rather than for pure power hitting. We stock this one in short handle with a medium pick-up, the setup most adult batters get on with.
At this point in the range the willow selection is good enough that the bat rewards proper preparation. Knock it in properly and the sweet spot broadens through the first season rather than staying narrow.
