'Knocking in' a cricket bat is the process by which the fibres of the playing surface are compressed.

This is done for a couple of reasons:

  • It helps with the longevity of your bat - compressed fibres are less likely to crack when making contact with the ball.
  • Helps improve/smooth out the performance of your bat.

At Cricket Express, our Mt Eden and Christchurch workshops are set up to knock bats in.

This involves:

  • Removing the face covering (where applicable).
  • Lightly sanding the face, and then applying linseed oil to the face.
  • Running the bat through our press with the roller that is closest to the shape of your bat.
  • Hand knocking, which involves checking the bat over with a bat mallet (looking for soft spots), focusing on the toe and the edges.
  • Boning the edges of the bat to help prevent edge cracking or indentation.
  • Steps will be repeated until we are satisfied that your bat is knocked in and ready for you to start using.

This process can take a while during our peak periods. Please allow at least one week for your knock in to be complete.
