SS Orange English Willow Cricket Bat

The SS Orange (English Willow) is positioned as an entry-to-mid level English willow bat, ideal for players who want the feel and performance of English willow at a more accessible price point. It’s often chosen by developing club players and serious beginners moving up from Kashmir willow.

At the crease, the SS Orange English Willow feels lighter and more responsive compared to its Kashmir counterpart. The ball comes onto the bat cleaner, especially when timed properly. This makes a noticeable difference during drives, pushes, and controlled attacking shots.

The bat is tuned for timing-based cricket rather than raw slogging. Its hitting zone sits around the mid blade, helping players adapt to match conditions and leather-ball movement. Pickup is comfortable, allowing smooth bat swing without forcing effort.

The English willow blade offers a softer touch and better rebound, which helps the ball travel even with compact shots. Edges are healthy enough for confidence, while the spine supports balance rather than making the bat overly bottom-heavy.

A cane handle with a standard SS grip absorbs shock reasonably well, making it suitable for longer net sessions and full match innings.
