Grade 2 English Willow from SS
The SS Master 8000 Bat is built from Grade 2 English willow by SS (Sareen Sports), one of India’s longest-established cricket equipment manufacturers. SS has been producing bats and cricket gear for generations, and the Master range represents one of its enduring lines aimed at club, school, and serious amateur cricketers who want a dependable bat without paying for the very top grade of willow.
Traditional Craftsmanship
Like other bats in SS’s Master series, the Master 8000 is shaped using traditional bat-making methods that prioritise a balanced profile and consistent performance across the face of the willow. This traditional approach to shaping has long been favoured by batters who value a dependable, all-round bat that performs well across a range of playing conditions, from bouncy club wickets to slower, low-turning surfaces.
Available in SH Size
The SS Master 8000 Bat is available in SH (Short Handle), making it suitable for adult batters and older juniors of standard height. This sizing ensures the bat pairs comfortably with a full range of batting strokes, from defensive technique through to more attacking shot-making.
A Trusted Name in Indian Cricket
SS is one of the most recognised brands in Indian cricket equipment, with a manufacturing heritage that spans decades of supplying bats to players at every level of the game, from junior cricketers to first-class and international players. The Master 8000 reflects that heritage, offering genuine English willow construction at a price point accessible to club and school-level batters looking to upgrade their equipment.
What’s Included
The SS Master 8000 Bat comes ready to knock in and play. Before using any new bat in match conditions, refer to the official MCC Laws of Cricket for bat dimension regulations. To complete your kit for match day, browse our range of Oakley sunglasses for glare reduction and eye protection while batting or fielding.
Caring for Your English Willow Bat
To get the most out of your SS Master 8000 Bat, knock it in gradually with a mallet or old ball before facing a hard new ball in match play. This compresses the willow fibres and helps prevent early cracking or damage. Regular light oiling of the face and edges, avoiding play in wet or damp conditions, and storing the bat in a cool, dry place will all help preserve the willow and extend the life of the bat across many seasons of use.
