It is a genuine \u003cstrong\u003eEnglish willow\u003c\/strong\u003e blade in a youth size, aimed at the age-group player who is already good enough that a starter bat is holding them back. SG has been making cricket equipment since 1931 out of Meerut, India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Players Choose the Triple Crown Classic Harrow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost Harrow bats are built down to a price on the assumption the player will grow out of them. This one is not. It carries the Triple Crown name because the willow selection is the same standard SG applies further up the range, which means a young batter gets real rebound off the middle instead of a dead blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes in the \u003cstrong\u003every light\u003c\/strong\u003e band, correct for the size. A Harrow that is too heavy does more harm than good at the point when technique is still being set.\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 Triple Crown, Classic tier\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\u003eThis is the Harrow bat for a serious age-group cricketer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYouth players in representative or academy setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBatters roughly 5ft 3in to 5ft 8in playing hard-ball cricket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParents who would rather buy one good bat than two cheap ones\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 beats age as a guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ3: Is it worth spending this much on a bat they will grow out of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It depends on the cricket they play. For an age-group or academy player facing a hard ball regularly, the difference in performance is real.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ4: 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\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: Is there an adult version?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Triple Crown Classic is available in short handle and is listed separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ7: Do you ship from the US?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
