Title: SG equivalent of Kook Ghost?
Post by: kaartman on May 10, 2016, 05:12:30 PM: Since we all know SG makes bats for Kookaburra... surely there must be a realtively cheaper/similar bat from SG.
Just wondering if anyone got one?

The Sierra 250s I've seen all seem to be big bats for the weight. (They've also been making them for a while now, so the "ghost shape" isn't as new as you'd think)
They're bargains if they're the same shape as a ghost or not

Big bats , less concaving and very well priced

SIERA 250 (approx 70 pounds in India) and SIERA 350 (95 pounds) - middle of the range considering the whole SG range

This year many SG bats are fuller in profile- some even cheaper bats being made in fuller shape!

Post by: kaartman on May 11, 2016, 11:51:11 AM: wow..IMO smaller face, tapered edge - backwards are over ratted / illusions. For last two seasons I was using 2.9 -2.10 scalloped bats and don't remember hitting may sixes (it was not the case before).
Could be a coincidence...I moved to a full profile 2.11 bat and hit 3 of them with out any fuss. I say, pump some iron and get a proper cricket bat :)
