Our Custom Bat Builder is an online tool that lets you design a cricket bat from the ground up. Then we bring it to life in our Brisbane workshop. 

It's that simple.

Ten models, five willow grades, and every detail in between, chosen by you. It takes about five minutes to design your bat, place your order and secure a spot in our workshop queue.

A cracked toe or a snapped handle can feel like the end of a bat, but often it's not. Every day we are bringing cricket bats back to life, and players are heading back to the crease with confidence. 

When your Cooper Cricket bat arrives, it is ready to go. Every Cooper Cricket bat leaves the workshop hand-oiled, machine-knocked in with around 15,000 compressions and then hand-finished, edges boned, toe given that little bit extra. The face protection is on. The grip is fitted by hand.

A lot of players bring bats into the workshop thinking the bat is dead. They wonder if it needs oiling, or if it’s time for a new one. The first thing we look at is the handle.

If the handle has started to break down, energy gets lost through the bat instead of transferring cleanly into the ball.

We’re pleased to supply genuine English willow clefts and part made cricket bats to bat makers right across Australia, sourced direct from England and supplied from our Brisbane workshop.

This time of year, the workshop fills up with more than just the sound of tools and timber, it fills up with stories. Players wander in to have a bat repaired, to grab an extra set of gloves, or just to have a yarn, and with them comes summer - long days, hard work, and seasons taking shape.

We hear about early mornings at training, about hours spent in the nets, about preparation finally paying off.

There’s plenty of movement in the Cooper Cricket workshop at the moment, with bats being refurbished and repaired as players push through the second half of the summer season.

Congratulations to Cooper Williams on a standout tournament with NSW Country.

Despite going down in the final against Queensland, Cooper put together a strong campaign and was rewarded with a selection in the Australian Merit Team.
