Was never a fan of SG bats but Decided to go for the SG Legend after hearing so many good things about SG making top quality bats recently.
Received it yesterday and so impressed with the quality. Excellent finish and the pressing on it is much better then SG bats of the past as Ping is exceptional and a lovely shape. Mid-low middle and pings good higher near the sticker.
Oval Handle. 12 grains with tiny heartwood on edge. Weight only 2.73 with 37mm edges and full profile. And no its not a dry willow. Very impressed especially with ping and size of sweetspot for such lightweight bat.
Enjoy the pictures.

Looks a beauty. I find the likes of SG and SS/TON are very good quality now compared to what I used to see. I love my TON I have at the moment and would definitely be tempted to buy more in future.

Thanks. And your right they have improved. SS I had few years back and it was exceptional too. But SG never impressed me as I saw quite alot of top range SG bats which were not impressive at all. But since last year they have been making exceptional bats and are highly recommended by so many people so I took a gamble and it was definitely worth it. They have improved massively.
-
Very nice bat.. SG is a big brand they also make my favourite Kookaburra bats.

Lush lush bat that shax !!
The sunny Legends always come in a bat coffin, is that jus a regular cover ??
-
Wow. What a beauty! How much did you pay? If you don't mind me asking..

Yes just got a regular cover with it for some reason

Paid around £325 for it, would been bit more but bought few other stuff too so got it for that much. Was well worth it as they hardly come so light. The seller I got it from only had 2.9+ weight SG legend. But i wanted a lighter one so he said lightest probably he could get would be 2.8-2.85 so he asked SG to make a lightweight around 2.8 with oval handle. And it came out around 2.73 with full profile. Top quality willow.

Very nice bat. Hope it goes well. Is that $325 or 325 pounds?

Thanks mate.
325 pounds.

Very nice looking bat. Have been impressed with the Players edition that i have seen recently as well as Sunny Gold and King Cobra.
Is that standard UK price? Seems expensive when compared to Indian price.
-
Very nice looking bat. I see so many SG bats around and heard lots of good things about them. Hope it brings you lots of runs.
-
How did you get SG to make one to specs and oval handle?
-
Last time I saw SG bats up close was a couple of years ago when a bloke was flogging them and SS bats from his garage - I wasn't impressed by them at all. I was suspicious of how dry they were. The pics of your bat seem to indicate that SG has lifted its game on the finishing front. Hope it goes well for you :)

Absolutely correct, I saw a few too some years back and they were very poor in finishing and very dry. Never was a fan of them till now. Took a gamble on it as I was told they have improved a lot.
And it was true they certainly have. The finishing is excellent and it's not a dry willow despite weight close to 2.7.
-
Lovely bat that!
The Asian brands certainly reaching the price points of the English brands. £325 is top money. :)

Thanks. They certainly are unfortunately.

Thats a nice bat and expensive by at least a 100 quids unless you paid the premium for custom service.
hope it gets loads of runs.

Thanks mate.
Yes agree probably paid extra but wouldn't say around 100 quid. I did get in touch with quite a lot of sellers in India and cheapest I was quoted with shipping was £280 so if you could get it for around £230 I wouldn't mind buying another one as I am tempted to get another one :D. Reason being I didn't go with the £280 one because weight was near 2.10. This was made on order so I didn't mind paying extra to get the right weight and handle shape.

Nice looking bat indeed, should be for £325! One question, does it weigh 2.73lb, or fractionally over 2lb 7oz?

Another cracker to add to the collection.

Thanks mate. Got rid of quite a lot of my collection to be honest. Had so many team mates wanting them so sold them on, the ones which were not being used or not suited.
