Why ‘Knocking-in’ is important for a cricket bat
All new cricket bats must be ‘Knocked in’ before they are ready for play on the field.
All cricket bats are pressed by the manufacturer, however, ‘Knocking in’ is a MUST.
This process compresses together the fibre of the willow in the face and edges, thus protecting the bat against the impact of the ball.
Effective ‘Knocking in’ will significantly improve the performance and increase the lifespan of the bat.
