Binding in our Brisbane workshop
Cricket bat binding is a very simple, but necessary part of the cricket bat making process.
It helps add stability and strength to the cricket bat handle. Handles are made from pieces of Malaysian Sarawak cane, generally 6 or 12 individual pieces that come together to form the cricket bat handle. Once a handle is inserted into a cricket bat, PVC glue is applied to the handle and the binding is tightly wrapped in a single layer along the entire length of the handle, giving the handle stability and strength.
Rod Grey, the founder of Cooper Cricket finds himself in a career that has been 30+ years in the making.
Rod fell in love with cricket when he was a boy, growing up in Townsville. He tried his hand at indoor cricket initially, then moved to Norths Cricket Club in Townsville where he played at junior, senior and representative levels.
How good does this bat look?
We recently made this custom made cricket bat for a customer who tailored the Believe cricket bat to make it uniquely his.
Using the Cooper Customiser, he choose:
- Willow grade
- Weight
- Handle shape
- Handle length
- Blade size
- Grip colour
- Sticker colour combination
At Cooper Cricket we only use English willow to make our cricket bats.
That's it.
Nothing else.
Every single cricket bat from Cooper Cricket is made in our Brisbane workshop.
We import the English willow and the handles and craft every bat in Queensland, Australia.
