Cricket Bat Knocking In (any Make or Model)

Cricket Bat Knocking-In – Any Make or Model

Prepare your bat for match day with our professional hand-knocking-in service. At Martin Berrill Sports, we highly recommend knocking in all new cricket bats to ensure they’re ready to perform at their optimum level. With over 60 years of bat-making and repair experience, our team delivers expert preparation for any make or model.

We carry out a minimum of 4–5 hours of knocking-in by hand—never by machine. This method better reflects the unpredictable nature of ball impact and helps condition the bat for real-game use. If you’ve purchased your bat through us, we’ll apply a £5 discount to this service.

What’s Included:

• Minimum 4–5 hours of hand-knocking-in

• Suitable for all makes and models

• £5 discount if bat was purchased from Martin Berrill Sports

• Record of knocks applied to your bat

Service Details:

• Turnaround: 7–14 days (may vary during peak season)

• Return shipping charged for secure, insured courier delivery

• Payment required when leaving the bat, not on collection

• Knocking-in does not guarantee durability or longevity

• Damage during use should be addressed with the manufacturer or retailer

• Bats not collected within 3 months of completion may be disposed of
