Title: SG Players Edition
Post by: Australian fast bowler on March 14, 2017, 01:44:27 AM
As many you have seen, ive been on a spending spree,
this forum has taught me well, buy the bats and answer questions later to loved ones,
Most would have seen my last few months of having a Warsop, Protos (FcSondhi), SM and more recently my SS Gladiator

This time i went for an SG Players Edition,
Specs.
2lb 10oz
41mm edge
60mm spine
full as full can get, barely any concaving

Pictures speak for themselves

Gladiator was a bargain but was just more expensive, both good bats with different pros and cons

41mm edges 65mm spine with tiny bit of concaving, but pings absolutely like a spring from very low down to the stickers... absolutely sensational pressing!

Lovely bat. SG are making some great bats. Have only heard great stuff about SG legend and SG players edition for the past year. I also purchased a SG Legend and it's exceptional.

how do you compare the pressing/performance between the two?

Stunning looking bat. Lately SG top grade bats have been coming in full profile in low weights which is really nice considering the price point.

Performance on both is outstanding, amazing bats

Press wise, the SS is slightly softer feeling press

The latest SG bats coming out are amazing even the low end ones. The ping is very nice. I think post launch of Sierra range most SG bats have fullish profile.

Agree with this. Have a Sierra 250 and it pings beautifully. Very full profile and great balance. Added a second grip because the handle was too thin for me. Performs excellent so far and hasn't really opened up fully either.

handle isnt too thin on this one but for me it would require a 2nd grip as i prefer a thicker grip
