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 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.

When serious cricketers are facing 100's or 1000's of balls each week, the life expectancy of their high-grade match bat can be shortened if over-used in the nets.

To overcome this, it is becoming more popular for players to have a practice bat made to match their game bat. 

It has been a great Christmas and New Year break for us and hopefully you as well!

We are back at it here in the workshop with plenty of repairs happening before the season kicks off again and below are some examples of what we have been working on.
