HANDLE REPLACEMENT
Cricket Bat Handle Replacement
If your cricket bat handle shows signs of damage, it may be time for a repair or replacement. A faulty handle can impact performance, reduce power, and increase the risk of further damage.
Signs Your Bat Handle Needs Repair:
✔ Creaking when playing shots
✔ Excessive flex beyond normal movement
✔ Twisting in your hands on impact
✔ Cracks forming around the shoulders of the bat
✔ Movement in the splice, affecting stability
✔ Cracks running down the bat from the handle
✔ Loss of power, making shots feel less solid
✔ Complete handle breakage or snapping

Choose Your Preferred Handle Shape:
As part of your handle repair, we can match or modify the handle shape to suit your playing style. Available shapes include:
🔹 Oval Handle – Provides superior grip alignment, prevents twisting, and enhances power transfer.
🔹 Semi-Oval Handle – A balanced option offering stability with some flexibility.
🔹 Round Handle – Allows maximum wrist movement, ideal for flicks and wristy shots.
🔹 Ultra-Oval Handle – Taller and more pronounced, giving excellent top-hand control.
🔹 Rectangle-Oval Handle – Flat-sided for strong bottom-hand alignment and stability.
🔹 Octagon Handle – Multi-sided shape that helps reduce vibration and bat twist.
🔹 Old-School Handle – Vintage design with a fatter bottom, thin middle, and thicker top.
🔹 X-Handle – Rectangular top-hand grip, similar to an axe handle, for controlled shot-making.
🔹 V-Handle – Features a pronounced ridge, similar to a squirrel grip, ensuring precise bat face control.
If you’re unsure which handle shape is best for you, our team can recommend the most suitable option based on your batting style.
