{"product_id":"sf-gradius-blade-english-willow-cricket-bat","title":"SF Gradius Blade English Willow Cricket Bat","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe SF Gradius Blade is built from grade 2 English willow and cut with a modern, elongated profile — a long middle swell that runs into a flat toe for a deep, forgiving sweet spot and quick pick-up through the crease. Edges run 36-40mm deep off a 65mm spine, giving the blade genuine mass where it counts without feeling bat-heavy in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA full cane handle is fitted for control and shock absorption, and the blade is finished with SF's signature large-edge shaping aimed at advanced, attacking batters who want to clear the rope with minimal fuss. This is one of SF's higher-spec models, positioned just below their flagship English willow bats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeight sits around 1.15kg in Short Handle, and the bat arrives with a protective cover. Like all premium English willow bats it will need a proper knock-in — around 6-8 hours of graduated mallet work plus a few throw-down sessions — before it's ready to face a new ball.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SF","offers":[{"title":"Short Handle","offer_id":54655061000416,"sku":null,"price":999.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/4335\/5104\/files\/5_469_1.jpg?v=1788430272","url":"https:\/\/akscricket.com.au\/products\/sf-gradius-blade-english-willow-cricket-bat","provider":"AKS CRICKET","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
