The SG Rishab Pant (RP 17) delivers exceptional performance with hand-selected Grade 1 English willow and triple-corked Singapore cane handle that combines control with superior shock absorption. Designed for professional players who demand both power and finesse at the crease.
Q: Is the SG Rishab Pant (RP 17) Original Players Bat suitable for junior players?
A: The RP 17 is designed for players aged 15+ who are at least 5'6" tall. Junior players should consider a lighter, junior-specific model as this bat's weight (1130-1180g) and full size are optimized for more developed players.
Q: How does the SG Rishab Pant (RP 17) Original Players Bat compare to other SG professional models?
A: The RP 17 features the same premium Grade 1 English willow as other SG professional models, but with specifications tailored to Rishab Pant's playing style, featuring a slightly different weight distribution and the distinctive triple-corked handle system.
Q: What kind of knocking-in is required for the SG Rishab Pant (RP 17) Original Players Bat?
A: Despite being hard-pressed during manufacturing, the RP 17 still requires proper knocking-in before match play. I recommend 6-8 hours of progressive knocking-in with a mallet, followed by gradual net sessions to fully prepare the willow for competitive use.
Q: Does the SG Rishab Pant (RP 17) Original Players Bat perform better in specific playing conditions?
A: The RP 17's premium Grade 1 English willow and balanced weight distribution make it versatile across playing conditions. However, its traditional shape and mid-blade sweet spot particularly excel on true batting surfaces where timing and stroke-making are prioritized over pure power hitting.
