How to Get the Best Performance from Your Cricket Bat with Machine Knocking

 


Did you recently buy an English willow bat? Before taking it to a match, we recommend requesting our machine-knocking service here at All About Cricket Store. And if you haven't already bought an English willow bat, don't forget to add our bat-knocking service to your order. We'll ensure your new bat is prepared for play and will last longer.

 

Using a cricket bat without knocking is one of the biggest mistakes you could make as a cricketer. During manufacturing, bats are compressed to create a barrier that can take hits from leather cricket balls. However, this compression isn’t enough for protection and longevity. This is why knocking is a must. It strengthens that compression-produced barrier, preventing cracks and breakage upon impact. The edges are also rounded during the process to prevent cracks.

 

If you’re new to machine-knocking an English willow bat, this guide is for you. Read on as we share tips for maximizing your bat’s performance.

 

Aim for 10,000 knocks.

 

Our machine-knocking service does 10,000 knocks across your bat’s playing area. Give us two to three business days to finish this. We also offer a full knocking service that includes manual knocks to enhance your bat’s game-readiness.

 

Thorough oiling is a must.

 

We apply oil thoroughly on your bat to seal the moisture. Moreover, we round the edges to resist cracks.

 

Protect the bat’s toe.

 

You may also add a toe binding service when we machine-knock your English willow bat. A toe bind provides extra protection against yorker deliveries, helping to prolong the life of your bat.

 

Consider applying a scuff sheet.

 

Our machine-knocking service can include a high-quality scuff sheet from GM to preserve moisture in the bat and prevent cracks from spreading. This top-of-the-line scuff sheet has excellent elasticity to resist cracks and ensure longevity, even when it’s hit by the ball frequently.

How to Avoid Bat Breakage and Cracking with Bat Knocking Services

  Cricket bats are like trusty companions – they show wear and tear the more you use them. Over time, it's normal to see cracks and minor dents develop on the bat's surface. How long a bat can be used depends greatly on how much it's played with and how well it's looked after. "Knocking in" means making the bat's surface harder and better prepared for use. This procedure hardens the bat's surface, connecting the willow fibers tightly together, making them strong enough to take on the impact of a cricket ball. This not only keeps the bat in good shape for a longer time but also boosts its performance, especially in the central hitting area.
