Cricket Bat Knocking-In with Clear Bat Facing
Prepare your new natural willow cricket bat for hard-ball use with the NZ Cricket Store Bat Knocking-In Service. This workshop service is designed to be purchased with a cricket bat and combines controlled bat preparation with clear protective facing.
Service Options
What We Do
Our bat-preparation process progressively conditions the willow using controlled knocking techniques. The selected service level determines the amount of preparation completed before dispatch, and clear bat facing is applied as part of this listing.
Turnaround Time
Due to workshop demand, please allow approximately 8-12 working days for bat preparation before dispatch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need this service for an English Willow bat?
Most natural willow bats require preparation before facing a hard leather ball. The amount required depends on how prepared the bat is when supplied.
Does knocking-in guarantee the bat cannot crack?
No. Cricket bats are made from natural willow and can still sustain damage. Preparation reduces risk but cannot eliminate it.
Can I purchase this service without a bat?
This service is intended to be added to a cricket bat order from NZ Cricket Store unless arranged separately with us.
