WHAT IS YOUR WARRANTY POLICY?

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.
