SS Voice of Willow – Player Edition Kashmir Willow Cricket Bat
Hear the willow speak. The SS Voice of Willow is the newest Player Edition cricket bat from SS (Sareen Sports) — a premium Grade 1 Kashmir Willow bat hand-built for club, league, and tournament cricketers in the United States who want professional feel without the English Willow price tag.
Why "Voice of Willow"?
Every SS Voice of Willow bat carries the signature "Voice of Willow" stamp on the back — a mark reserved for blades hand-picked for tonal response, straight grains, and pure ping. Knock one in and you'll hear it: a clean, crisp "voice" off the middle that tells you the willow is alive.
Crafted for the Modern Stroke-Maker
Shaped by SS master bat-makers in Meerut, the Voice of Willow features a full profile, a mid-to-low sweet spot, a concave back, and a traditional round/semi-scooped toe that keeps weight balanced through the hitting zone. The result is a bat that feels lighter in the hands than its scale weight suggests — ideal for fast hand-speed and front-foot stroke play on US club wickets, turf pitches, and harder hard-ball league surfaces.
Premium Grade 1 Kashmir Willow
Naturally air-dried and hand-selected, this Grade 1 Kashmir Willow delivers dense fibres, straight grains, and a wide, forgiving sweet spot — giving you the power of a professional-grade bat at a fraction of the English Willow cost. The smartest upgrade a club cricketer can make in the US market today.
