Cricket Bat Knocking In Service

Give your new cricket bat the perfect start with our Professional Knocking-In Service, designed to maximise performance, durability, and confidence at the crease.

Knocking-in is an essential preparation process that compresses and hardens the bat’s fibres, reducing the risk of cracks while improving ping and longevity. At all levels of cricket, a properly knocked-in cricket bat makes a huge difference from ball one.

What’s Included

• Progressive knocking-in using a professional mallet and machine
• Extra focus on toe, edges, and sweet spot
• Final inspection to ensure the bat is match-ready

Why Knocking-In Matters

• Helps prevent early cracks and seam damage
• Improves bat response and performance
• Extends the overall lifespan of your bat
• Saves hours of DIY preparation time

Timeframe

• Typically completed within 3–5 working days
• Faster turnaround may be available during quieter periods

Important Notes

• This service prepares your bat for use with a new cricket ball, but like all bats, gradual match use is still recommended
• Ideal for English willow bats of all grades
• If you want your bat to perform at its best from the first innings, our knocking-in service is the safest and most effective way to get there.
