It is a top-end \u003cstrong\u003eEnglish willow\u003c\/strong\u003e players bat aimed at batters who want the same blade profile SG builds for its international player rather than a scaled-down retail version. SG has been making cricket equipment since 1931 out of Meerut, India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Players Choose the Sanju 14\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSamson bats with hard hands and a lot of freedom through the ball, and this bat is set up for that kind of player. We stock it in \u003cstrong\u003eshort handle\u003c\/strong\u003e with a \u003cstrong\u003emedium\u003c\/strong\u003e pick-up, which gives you weight behind the drive without killing the hand speed you need to play late and square.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sits at the players-edition end of SG's range. At that level you are paying for willow selection and consistency across the face, which is what lets the bat keep performing deep into a season rather than going soft after a few months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Technical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWillow:\u003c\/strong\u003e English willow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e SG Sanju Samson signature range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTier:\u003c\/strong\u003e Players edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Short Handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Band:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium (2lbs 9oz - 2lbs 10oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SG (Sanspareils Greenlands)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreparation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Knocking in required before leather-ball use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New, unused\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is This For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sanju 14 is for a batter buying at the top of the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremier league and representative players wanting a players-grade bat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacking batters who play through the line with hard hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSamson fans wanting the signature bat rather than a lookalike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComplete your kit with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sg-english-willow-cricket-bats\"\u003eSG English willow bats\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cricket-batting-gloves\"\u003ecricket batting gloves\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bat-grips\"\u003ebat grips\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cricket-kit-bags\"\u003ecricket kit bags\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhotos show the actual bat in stock.
