SS Finn Allen Player Plus Cricket Bat - SH

SS TON Finn Allen Player Plus Cricket Bat

The SS TON Finn Allen Player Plus Cricket Bat is a Grade 2 English willow cricket bat designed for players who want the powerful Finn Allen profile at a more accessible willow grade. Its large sweet spot, thick edges, deep spine and light pickup suit batters who want plenty of wood through the hitting area while keeping the bat manageable through the shot.

For club, school and competitive cricket, the Player Plus offers a practical balance of English willow quality, hitting area and bat speed.

Grade 2 English Willow

The Finn Allen Player Plus is made from Grade 2 English willow. It sits below the Grade 1 Player Premium and Players Grade Player Elite in the Finn Allen range, making it a good option for players who prioritise performance and profile over the cosmetic finish associated with higher willow grades.

English willow is a natural material, so grain structure, colour and cosmetic appearance will vary between individual bats.

Built for Powerful Stroke Play

The Finn Allen profile features a large, forgiving sweet spot backed by thick edges and a deep spine. This puts plenty of willow through the hitting area, giving players a substantial blade when committing to attacking shots.

The light pickup balances that larger profile. It helps the bat come through quickly and makes it easier to adjust against changes in pace and length. For batters who like positive stroke play but still value control, this combination of blade volume and pickup is the main reason to consider the Finn Allen Player Plus.

Who is the Finn Allen Player Plus best for?

The Finn Allen Player Plus is best suited to club, school and competitive cricketers who want Grade 2 English willow with a power focused profile and light pickup.

What should you consider before buying?

The Finn Allen Player Plus requires knocking in before use. Even after preparation, we recommend gradually introducing the bat to harder impacts, starting with controlled throwdowns before progressing through spin and seam bowling in the nets.

We also recommend adding a bat facing and toe guard to this model. A facing provides an additional protective layer across the blade, while a toe guard helps protect the toe from moisture and general wear. These are worthwhile additions if you want to look after your English willow bat throughout a New Zealand cricket season.
