Title: SS I-Bat Equivalent...
Post by: Gingerbusiness on June 22, 2015, 02:17:56 PM: Afternoon all,

This winter, I brought an SS i-bat as a net bat for the season. Unfortunately, it has turned out to be an absolute cannon and now I want more...

My question is this - It is the Michael Clark duckbill shape - do SS make this shape in a higher grade willow? And if so, which model?

I await a response from someone in the know.

Cheers guys!

I'd look for a Maximus, Limited edition or a Master 9000 (depending which stickers you prefer) if you lik that shape

Hi Cam!

Is that the "full shape" as on Online Stockist?

Post by: WalkingWicket37 on June 22, 2015, 02:42:15 PM: I got my last SS's from a source that was a bit controversial on here.
You will find the name with minimal digging in the Sareen Sports section, but as 1 they're not a sponsor and 2 I'm being watched/on the naughty step I won't give too glowing a review.

All I will say is I asked for the full profile and stated the weight I required and they sent pictures of the actual bats in stock, so you're not buying blind as such.

Here are the twigs I've had from there
