Knocking in your Cricket bat is an essential part of its preparation. Even if you have purchased a "pre knocked in" bat, further knocking is always required. Below is the Lawrence & Hendricks Hand knocking in process. 

  1. Raw linseed oil is applied to the face, edges and back of the bat evenly. avoiding the splice (where the handle fits into the blade), handle or labelled areas, taking further  care not to over oil the bat as this will deaden the fibres of the timber and affect performance.
  2. We then leave the bat horizontal and face up to dry for 24 hours.
  3. Whe then wipe off any excess oil and knock in your bat with a specialist bat mallet for approximately 4 hours. The edges and toe of the blade require particular attention using glancing blows off the face to harden and round these areas. The knocking in is performed with gradual increasing force, but never too hard to cause damage.
  4. Anti scuff sheet is fitted over the top.We strongly recommend this procedure.

All you from here!

  1. We recommend you then test the blade using a good quality old ball during a light net session or having "throw downs". 
  2. Go out and enjoy your new bat!
