FAQs
Q: What playing style is the SS TON 999 best suited for?
A: With its massive TON edges and wide play area, the SS TON 999 is built for aggressive stroke-makers and T20-style players who want to clear the boundary with ease.
Q: What does "concave edges" mean on a cricket bat?
A: Concaving refers to scalloping out wood from the back of the bat. On the SS TON 999, this technique allows the bat to retain massive, powerful edges while significantly reducing the overall weight for a lighter pick-up.
Q: Is the SS TON 999 a heavy bat?
A: No. Despite its large profile, the air-dried willow and concave design give it a very balanced, light pick-up, allowing players to generate fast bat speed.
Q: What is air-dried English Willow?
A: Air-drying is a natural, slow moisture-reduction process. It ensures the willow retains its natural elasticity and structural integrity, resulting in a much better "ping" and longer lifespan compared to kiln-dried bats.
Q: Does the SS TON 999 come knocked in?
A: Like all premium English Willow bats, we highly recommend standard knocking-in procedures on the toe and exposed edges before facing hard leather cricket balls in match play.
Q: Does this bat come with a protective cover?
A: Yes, the SS TON 999 includes a premium, portable SS bat cover to keep your bat safe from moisture and scuffs in your kit bag.
