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.
SHOULD I GET MY BAT FIXED OR BUY NEW?
There is no set time frame as to when to retire your cricket bat and invest in a new one. Dependent on the amount of usage your bat gets and how effectively you maintain it will determine how long your bat will continue to perform.
At Cooper Cricket, we meticulously craft your bat to meet all your specific needs and preferences. While we would love for our bats to last a lifetime, we understand that cricket bats aren’t indestructible. With the increased use of artificial balls and the modern demand for big bats with large middles, big edges, and light weights, the cricket willow used today is drier than ever before. This drying process, necessary to meet these demands, means that bats, if not maintained properly, may break or get damaged more often.
DOES YOUR BAT HANDLE NEED REPLACING?
There are a lot of things that can go wrong with your bat handle, and it might not be immediately obvious that there is a problem. So, what should you check for?
