Why players pick it
This is a genuine player edition — SS TON select the top 1% of Grade-1+ English willow for these bats. Ryan Rickelton's signature model carries straight, evenly spaced grains and the traditional SS profile, offering the exact mould and balance used by international stars.
The headline is the profile: huge 38–40mm edges and a full, imposing shape give a massive hitting zone and real forgiveness on off-centre hits. Yet reviewers consistently note that expert pressing by SS craftsmen keeps the pickup light in the hands for fast bat speed.
The sweet spot sits mid-to-low, ideal for front-foot drives and aggressive pulls — a bat for the power player who values performance over decoration.

What buyers say

Common questions
Who uses this bat?
It's the player edition used by Ryan Rickelton, with the same mould trusted by Dewald Brevis and Will Jacks.
Isn't a big-edged bat heavy?
Not necessarily — SS press these to keep the pickup light despite the large profile, so you get the big middle without sacrificing bat speed.
Where's the sweet spot?
Mid-to-low, which suits front-foot drives and pulls — a power player's profile.
Is it match-ready?
We professionally knock in premium bats before collection so it's ready for the middle.
Why is it a player edition?
It's made to the same spec and selection grade as the bats the sponsored players use, rather than a standard retail model.
