good bat, but finishing doesn't look too good...toe could use more sanding to make it look better.

Yes the toe looks like it could have been better sanded but other than that the finishing is top notch.

Lovely bat, now I feel like to scratch the toe guard off my recent gladiator and see if it was meant for any pro.

A local sports shop has a AB bat (Kookaburra) that he used during the IPL and interestingly it has Virat written on the toe. Finishing on the bat is not great and but the pick up is brilliant. Was real tempted to bounce a ball on it but didn't want to mess up the signature on the face. Will try to get photos when I pass by there again.

That is a very nice bat. Do you have pics of other bats you looked at ?

That would still be better than having Jaddu aka R. Jadeja written on it  :)

Lovely bat and frankly who cares about the finishing of the toe. Certainly I don't!

I really, really love this profile - it seems very similar to the one Sanga uses.

Has anyone seen this profile in any of the less expensive SS bats at all?

If you do not mind a slightly heavier weight than 2.8 -2.9 they have a beautiful SS ELXI that was just stunning for the price. Exactly same profile as this and
Around 2.10-2.11 i think with slight heartwood, I am already helping a bud get a Gladiator and some ss gloves and can see if you want it added.

Not sure why SS has soooooo many models. They need to streamline their product range.
Their quality not doubt improving with high end bats comparable or even better than other brands' high end bats.
It will be nice of they had only 4 or five models in SS range to keep things simple for buyers.
