Professional Cricket Bat Knocking-In Service
Prepare a new natural willow cricket bat for hard-ball use with NZ Cricket Store's workshop knocking-in service. Clear protective facing is included.
Service options
- 2 Hours Hand Knocking
- 3 Hours Hand Knocking
- 4 Hours Hand Knocking
- 7+ Hours Match-Ready Preparation
Our workshop progressively conditions the face and edges of the bat. The selected service level determines the amount of preparation completed before dispatch.
Turnaround: allow approximately 8-12 working days during normal workshop demand.
Important: cricket bats are made from natural willow. Knocking-in can reduce avoidable early damage but cannot guarantee that a bat will never crack or mark during use.
This service is intended to be added to a cricket bat order from NZ Cricket Store unless arranged separately. For used bats requiring repair or restoration, browse the Cricket Bat Workshop.
The product range and model details vary by maker. Read this product’s own description, measurements and care instructions, and ask our cricket team to confirm any missing information.
