SS Valarie 4.0 English Willow Cricket Bat
~ The entry point into the Valarie line, in full English willow.
The Valarie series is SS’s modern performance line, and the 4.0 is where it starts. You get genuine English willow, a contemporary concave profile and a light, responsive pick-up, at the most accessible price in the range. It suits batters who want bat speed and control rather than sheer mass, and who are stepping into English willow for the first time.
Why Players Choose the Valarie 4.0
English Willow Construction
Hard-pressed English willow for a crisp response off the face and a longer competitive life than lower-density alternatives.
Light, Fast Pick-Up
The 4.0 is shaped to keep pick-up weight down, so the bat comes through the line quickly. Useful for players who score square of the wicket and off the back foot.
Concave Edges, Cane Handle
Concave edges lift mass out of the spine and into the hitting area, widening the sweet spot without adding pick-up weight. Cane handle with a high-tack grip, supplied with a protective cover.

FAQ Section
Q1: Is this a full English willow bat? Yes. It is hard-pressed English willow and is built for leather-ball cricket, not tennis-ball or soft-ball use.
Q2: Does it come pre-knocked, or do I need to knock it in? It ships raw, like almost all English willow bats, and needs knocking-in before match use to compress the fibres and reduce the risk of cracking.
Q3: What weights are available? Light (2lbs 7oz – 2lbs 8oz) and Medium (2lbs 9oz – 2lbs 10oz). Stock varies by weight.
Q4: How does the 4.0 compare with the Valarie 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0? The numbering runs from the top down: 1.0 is the premium cleft in the range and 4.0 is the entry model. All four share the Valarie profile; the difference is willow selection and finish.
Q5: Is the Short Handle size right for me? Short Handle suits most adult players of average to tall height. Check the size guide above against your own height and reach.
Q6: Does TopCricketStore ship this within the USA? Yes, from our Edison, NJ warehouse to addresses nationwide, with free shipping on orders over $100.
