Harrow sits between a size 6 junior bat and a full adult short handle, and it is the size most growing players need for a season or two before they move up. It is genuine \u003cstrong\u003eEnglish willow\u003c\/strong\u003e, not a scaled-down starter blade. SG has been making cricket equipment since 1931 out of Meerut, India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Players Choose the Sunny Tonny Harrow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mistake most young batters make is going to a full adult bat too early. A bat that is too long or too heavy pulls the hands down and turns a good technique into a bottom-handed one. \u003cstrong\u003eHarrow\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps the blade proportionate so the player can still play straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is in the \u003cstrong\u003every light\u003c\/strong\u003e band, which is exactly what you want at this size. Because it is \u003cstrong\u003eEnglish willow\u003c\/strong\u003e, it still performs against a proper leather ball once knocked in, so a player moving up in age group is not held back by their equipment.\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 Sunny Tonny (Sunil Gavaskar) range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Band:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Light (2lbs 4oz - 2lbs 6oz)\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\u003eHarrow suits a player who has outgrown a size 6 but is not ready for a full adult bat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYouth players roughly 5ft 3in to 5ft 8in, though height matters more than age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge-group cricketers moving into hard-ball leagues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayers who want English willow rather than a Kashmir starter bat\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.

It generally suits players around 5ft 3in to 5ft 8in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ2: How do I know if my child needs Harrow or short handle?\u003c\/strong\u003e Stand the bat upright next to them. If the top of the handle reaches somewhere around the hip, the size is about right. Height is a better guide than age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ3: Does this bat need knocking in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Like any English willow bat it needs knocking in and gradual net use before facing a hard leather ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ4: Is English willow worth it at this size?\u003c\/strong\u003e If the player is in hard-ball cricket, yes. It performs properly rather than just surviving, and that matters while technique is forming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ5: How do I look after it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil the face lightly with raw linseed a couple of times a season, keep an anti-scuff sheet and toe guard on, and store it dry and away from heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ6: How long will they get out of it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Usually a season or two before they grow into a short handle, which is why we would not recommend buying at the very top of the range for this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ7: Do you ship from the US?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
