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.

THERE'S MORE THAN ONE TYPE OF HANDLE?

Cricket bat handles come in various shapes and sizes, each designed to complement different batting styles. Just like bat profiles, the shape of a handle can significantly affect your performance on the field. At Cooper Cricket, we specialize in three key handle shapes: round, semi-oval, and oval. Understanding the differences between these shapes is crucial in selecting a bat that enhances your technique and suits your individual playing style.

WHAT IS YOUR WARRANTY POLICY?

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.
