Benefits of “Knocking” for a Cricket Bat

• Reduces the risk of the bat snapping.
• Allow the soft fibre to strike a hard cricket ball.
• knocking of bat fills in the gaps between the fibre.

Why Knocking is Important for a Cricket Bat:

All bats are pressed by the manufacturer, however knocking in is MUST for the survival of your bat. This is the process by which the fibre of the willow in the face and edges are compressed together which protects  the bat against the impact of the ball. Effective knocking in will significantly improve the performance and increase the lifespan of the bat.

We recommend that prepared Ready Play & Pre Knocked in bats need extra preparation & care before use; A significant portion of this preparation can be best performed by our Pressing Machine along with a ball mallet or bat mallet.

All new Cricket Bat must be “knocked in” before they are ready for use on the field.
