Why You Need a Cricket Bat Mallet

A cricket bat mallet is an essential tool for any serious cricketer. It's used to "knock-in" a new cricket bat, a crucial process that compresses the willow fibres and prepares the bat for the impact of a cricket ball. Proper knocking-in significantly reduces the risk of damage and improves the bat's performance and longevity. Don't risk cracking your expensive cricket bat – invest in a quality mallet from ForeSports

How to Knock-In Your Cricket Bat with a Mallet

  1. Preparation: Ensure your new cricket bat has been lightly oiled.

  2. Gentle Start: Begin by gently tapping the face of the bat with the mallet, focusing on the edges and toe.

  3. Increase Intensity: Gradually increase the force of your knocking, working your way across the entire face of the bat.

  4. Check for Rebound: Listen for a good rebound sound, indicating the willow is compressing correctly.

  5. Repeat: Repeat the process over several sessions for optimal results.
