SS TON Dhoni Players Premium Kashmir Willow Cricket Bat - Long Handle
~ The Dhoni Players blade on a long handle, for batters who run out of room on a standard adult bat.
Tall players spend an innings stooping over a handle an inch too short, which costs them a straight bat. This is the same Grade 1 Kashmir willow blade as the short handle version, on a longer handle so a taller batter can stand up and still reach full extension. It is listed in one medium band.
SS has built cricket bats in Meerut, India since 1969, and TON is the badge on the willow. The bat photographed here has its weight inked on the face beside an LH mark.
Why Players Choose the TON Dhoni Players Long Handle
Long Handle Geometry
The extra handle length lifts the whole bat in the stance, so a taller batter stays upright instead of reaching down for the toe. It is a separate listing because the longer lever changes how the listed weight feels.
Massive Concave TON Edges
The blade is the latest TON shape, hollowed at the back so willow is carried out to the edges. The side-profile photographs show that concaving running the length of the blade.
Grade 1 Air-Dried Kashmir Willow
SS specifies Grade 1 premium Kashmir willow, air dried before shaping, finished with an embossed blue TON sticker and an orange grip. The face close-up shows clean, even willow.
