Cricket Bat Knocking in Service

Professional Bat Knocking-In Service (15,000 Machine Knocks)

Get your new bat match-ready with our expert knocking-in service. Using advanced machinery, we ensure every bat is perfectly prepared for maximum performance and durability.

Why knocking-in matters:

Knocking in a cricket bat is an essential step to enhance performance and extend its lifespan. It helps the wood fibres compress and bind together, dramatically reducing the risk of cracks and improving rebound off the middle. A properly knocked-in bat can deliver better power and feel from the very first hit.

Our process:

Instead of spending 15–20 hours manually knocking your bat with a mallet, our automated machine completes 15,000 precise knocks, evenly covering the toe, edges, and blade. The process ensures your bat is fully conditioned and ready for action.

Service highlights:

• 15,000 machine knocks for consistent and thorough preparation

• Covers all key impact areas: toe, edges, and blade

• No further knocking required – ready to play immediately

• Option to add Extratec protection for extended durability and maintenance-free use ( Paid )

If you’re local, we can complete the service within an hour while you wait, or you can ship your bat to us for a 2-days turnaround.

Give your bat the perfect start — let Cricket + Football Shop handle the hard work so you can focus on your game.
