Description
SG RP 250 English Willow Cricket Bat with STR8Bat Sensor
The RP 250 sits in SG's RP range, the line built around Rishabh Pant, and ships with the STR8Bat sensor fitted. It pairs a genuine English willow blade for leather-ball cricket with swing data on your phone after every session. SG has been making cricket equipment since 1931 out of Meerut, India.
Why Players Choose the RP 250
The STR8Bat sensor mounts to the bat and tracks bat speed, swing path and impact position, feeding it to the STR8Bat app. It turns net sessions into something you can measure, rather than something you feel your way through.
The bat itself is English willow in short handle, stocked here in the medium pick-up band. Medium gives you weight behind the ball through the line while still leaving you enough hand speed to play square.

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: What does "Medium" mean in the weight option? The blade weighs between 2lbs 9oz and 2lbs 10oz. We weigh each bat individually before listing it.
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.
