PERFORMANCE EDITION CRICKET BAT

Built for Performance. Selected on Ping.

Players Grade Performance Edition bats are for cricketers who care about how a bat performs, not how it looks on a shelf.

Made from premium Grade 2 English willow, these bats are built using a rigorous selection process with one clear focus: ping performance. Grain count and wood blemishes don't determine how a bat plays. We do things differently.

What That Actually Means

The traditional grading system focuses on:

• Grain count
• Visual appearance
• Colour

We don't.

Because none of that guarantees performance.

At SGM Cricket, performance comes from:

• The pressing
• The handle construction
• The density and quality of the willow
• The shape, profile, and balance

Not how clean the face looks.

Same Performance. Better Value.

Performance Edition bats may feature:

• Fewer grains
• Minor stains or colour variation
• Slight visual imperfections in the willow

What they don't lack is performance.

These bats are:

• Pressed the same
• Shaped the same
• Built to the same standard

You are getting a high-performing bat, without paying for a perfect-looking piece of wood.
