SS TON Finn Allen Player Premium Cricket Bat
The SS TON Finn Allen Player Premium Cricket Bat is a Grade 1 English willow cricket bat designed for players who want a powerful profile with a light, controlled pickup. With a large sweet spot, thick edges and a deep spine, it suits batters looking for plenty of wood through the hitting area without giving up bat speed.
Made from Grade 1 English willow, the Player Premium brings the key performance characteristics of the Finn Allen profile into a high quality option for competitive cricket.
Grade 1 English Willow
The Finn Allen Player Premium is made from Grade 1 English willow, providing a high quality blade for players who train and compete regularly.
As English willow is a natural material, grain structure, colour and cosmetic appearance will vary from bat to bat. When choosing a cricket bat, we recommend considering pickup and feel alongside the visual appearance of the willow.
Built for Powerful Batting
A large, forgiving sweet spot gives the Finn Allen Player Premium a substantial hitting area. For an attacking batter, that means plenty of wood behind the ball when driving, pulling or looking to score more aggressively. Thick edges and a deep spine add volume through the blade and support the powerful characteristics of the profile.
The light pickup is important here. Rather than simply feeling like a large, heavy bat, the Finn Allen profile is designed to remain quick through the hitting zone, helping players maintain bat speed and control.
Who is the Finn Allen Player Premium best for?
The Finn Allen Player Premium is best suited to competitive cricketers who want Grade 1 English willow, a large hitting area and a light pickup.
It makes particular sense for attacking batters who prefer a substantial blade profile but still want the bat to feel manageable when reacting to different lengths and changing the pace of an innings.
