The SG King Cobra ARC 4.0 brings the performance-oriented shape of the series to a more accessible level. It uses a Grade 4 English Willow blade, providing a solid and reliable performance for players seeking an aggressive bat with a light pickup, without the investment of a higher-grade willow.
Willow & Blade: Built with a Grade 4 English Willow blade, which is hand-selected and pressed to ensure a good ping and structural integrity. The tapered toe enhances durability, making it a practical choice for practice and match play.
Handle & Control: Incorporates the same oval cane handle as the higher-grade models, delivering effective shock absorption and control. The pro-soft grip ensures a comfortable and secure hold during stroke play.
Profile & Performance: Features the distinctive King Cobra duckbill profile, which creates a low balance point for a quick pickup and fast bat speed. The design aims to maximize the sweet spot for a confident feel on both front and back foot shots.
1. How does the SG King Cobra ARC 4.0 compare to the ARC 1.0 and 2.0?
The primary difference is the willow grade. The ARC 4.0 uses Grade 4 English Willow, which has more visual markings and a slightly different density than the cleaner, more responsive Grade 1 and 2 willows in the higher models, while sharing the same shape and handle.
2. Is the SG King Cobra ARC 4.0 suitable for a junior cricketer moving to a senior bat?
Yes, its balanced pickup (max 1180g) and aggressive profile make it a suitable option for a strong junior or a senior player looking for a cost-effective bat that retains the playing characteristics of a professional model.
3. Despite the grade, does the SG King Cobra ARC 4.0 still offer a good power potential?
Yes. The power comes from the bat's profile and pressing. The duckbill shape and extended sweet spot are designed to maximize performance, meaning it will still produce strong shots, though the overall responsiveness and grain structure will differ from a Grade 1 bat.
4. Is the SG King Cobra ARC 4.0 ready to use straight away?
No. Like any high-performance English Willow bat, it requires a proper knocking-in process before match use to harden the fibres and prevent damage. It should not be used in a game straight from
