Have you purchased a bat from somewhere else or inherited an old bat that just isn’t performing like it used to? Whether it’s a bat that has seen better days or one that you’re looking to upgrade for competitive play, our Professional Machine Knocking Service is here to transform your cricket bat into a finely tuned, performance-ready instrument.

Our service is designed to provide your bat with a complete makeover that includes sanding, oiling, machine knocking, application of a new scuff sheet, and toe binding with high-quality fiber tape. Each step is meticulously executed to ensure that your bat not only looks pristine but also performs with enhanced power and balance on the field.

Thorough Sanding and Preparation

The journey to a perfectly knocked bat begins with proper preparation. Our technicians start by thoroughly sanding your bat’s surface. This crucial step removes any old finish, scratches, or imperfections, revealing a smooth and even surface. Sanding is essential as it ensures that subsequent treatments like oiling and knocking are evenly applied. A well-prepared bat is key to achieving the optimum response when the ball hits.

Premium Oiling for Optimal Wood Health

After sanding, the bat undergoes a meticulous oiling process. Our premium oil is applied evenly across the bat to protect the wood from drying out and to maintain its natural moisture balance. Oiling not only enhances the bat’s durability but also prepares the surface for the knocking process. This treatment helps the wood fibers settle uniformly, reducing the risk of cracks and ensuring that your bat remains robust through countless matches.

Advanced Machine Knocking Process

The heart of our service lies in the machine knocking process. Using state-of-the-art equipment, your bat is subjected to a controlled knocking process, where it receives between 14,000 to 20,000 precise knocks. This step is designed to enhance the internal structure of the bat, ensuring that the wood fibers are properly aligned and settled. The machine knocking not only strengthens the bat but also optimizes its balance, making it more responsive to each stroke. With this level of treatment, you can expect improved performance, whether you’re playing power drives or quick defensive shots.

Application of a New Scuff Sheet

Once the knocking is complete, we apply a brand-new scuff sheet to your bat. This protective layer is essential in safeguarding the bat’s surface from abrasions and minor impacts that occur during play. The scuff sheet not only gives your bat a fresh, clean look but also contributes to its longevity by preventing wear and tear. A new scuff sheet means that your bat will maintain its aesthetic appeal and structural integrity for many games to come.

Reinforced Toe Binding with Fiber Tape

The final finishing touch in our service is the toe binding process. Using high-quality fiber tape, we reinforce the toe area of your bat—one of the most vulnerable parts during aggressive play. This step is critical for ensuring that your bat can endure the rigors of intense matches without suffering from damage. The fiber tape provides extra strength and stability, further enhancing the bat’s performance and durability.
