VKS Review

A bat that really does hit those low weights to perfection, thanks to its special styling. The Ventus 1.0 Players SL Cricket Bat stands out for its powerful mid-low swell, making it ideal for players who dominate on the front foot. The full profile and substantial edges contribute to a generous sweet spot, enhancing shot consistency. The semi-oval handle paired with the TRACTION PRO grip ensures excellent comfort and control, supporting confident and aggressive batting. The SL model is approx 1" shorter and this helps to get the bat weight down.
