About this bat

The SS Ton Retro Classic is a back-to-basics English willow bat built for cricketers who value traditional feel with modern performance. Developed within SS TON's Retro Classic Series, it brings a full-profile design, pronounced spine and thick edges to the crease — with the retro-inspired SS TON decals that have made this range an enduring favourite at club level.

The blade features a mid-swell sweet spot with a full profile and no scalloping — keeping maximum wood throughout the blade for outstanding power and a consistent, solid feel through the hands. The pronounced spine and thick edges deliver serious ping from top to bottom, while the clean bat face and wide playing area give you confidence whether you are driving through the covers or playing a late cut. A round premium handle adds to the traditional character of the bat.

Crafted from air-dried English willow, the Retro Classic arrives with retro-inspired SS TON decals and SS authenticity hologram. The Sarawak cane handle with scale grip provides excellent shock absorption and energy transfer. As with all English willow bats, oiling and knocking in is required before match use — where bat preparation is enabled, we complete this fully before dispatch. Includes a premium portable SS bat cover.

Frequently asked questions

The Retro Classic sits in SS TON's Retro Classic Series — a range dedicated to traditional styling and full-profile English willow construction. It is positioned for advanced club and league cricketers who want a dependable, no-nonsense bat with a clean look and proven performance, rather than the modern chrome-heavy finish of the TON Range.
The Retro Classic is defined by its traditional aesthetics and full-profile build with no scalloping. Where TON Series bats like the Gold and Silver Edition use concave edge profiles and modern chrome stickers, the Retro Classic leans into retro-inspired minimal stickers and a pronounced spine with thick, classic edges. The result is a bat that feels substantial and consistent from top to bottom.
Scalloping refers to material removed from the back of the blade to redistribute weight and create a different pick-up feel. The Retro Classic keeps its full profile intact — no scalloping means more wood stays in the bat, giving a heavier, powerful feel at contact and consistent rebound across the entire blade. It suits players who prefer a traditional, mallet-like feel at the crease.
Yes. Like all English willow bats, the Retro Classic requires oiling and knocking in before match use. If our bat preparation service is enabled, we handle this fully before dispatch — the bat arrives ready to play. If preparing yourself, apply a thin coat of raw linseed oil, leave overnight, then work through 3–4 knocking sessions progressing from light to heavy.
All SS English willow bats include a 3D hologram on the back of the bat and a stretchable barcode on the rear. The authentication number from the barcode can be verified on the SS Cricket website or through the SS mobile app to confirm the bat is a genuine SS TON product.
The Retro Classic's full profile and pronounced spine give it a substantial feel — most players choose between 2lb 8oz and 2lb 10oz. Message Yaseer on WhatsApp and he will advise the best weight for your game, the formats you play and the pitches you bat on.
