Every cricketer knows that a brand-new cricket bat is not ready for the field straight out of the shop. To make it match-ready, it needs one crucial process – knocking-in. Without proper knocking, even the finest English Willow or Kashmir Willow bat risks cracks, damage, and poor performance.
This is where the Heega Knocking Hammer comes into play. Specially designed for players who want to prepare their bat the right way, our knocking hammer ensures your bat is conditioned, protected, and ready to deliver powerful shots without breaking.
Why Knocking-In Is So Important
A cricket bat is crafted from natural willow, which has fibers that need to be compressed and strengthened before facing real cricket balls. Knocking-in does this by:
- Strengthening the Bat Face – Compressing fibers to make the wood denser and less prone to cracks.
- Protecting Against Ball Impact – Ensuring the bat can handle the high speed and hardness of a cricket ball.
- Expanding the Sweet Spot – Helping your bat perform better by increasing the effective hitting area.
- Extending Lifespan – Proper knocking prevents premature damage, ensuring the bat serves you for seasons.
Without this step, even the most expensive bat can get damaged within a few hits.
