VKS Bat Knocking In Service
Overview
The VKS Bat Knocking In Service is a comprehensive and expertly performed process to prepare your bat for match use. Every cricket bat must be fully knocked in, even those marked as "pre-prepared," which only means they've been partially pressed. Our meticulous service ensures your bat is thoroughly knocked in, oiled, and ready for the rigours of the game.
PLEASE NOTE: A pre-prepared bat still requires oiling and full knocking in with a mallet for at least 4 hours to ensure its durability and performance.
Process
- Initial Preparation: Each bat is carefully oiled using the finest Owzat bat oil, which is then left to dry overnight.
- Knocking In: The bat is knocked in using a top-quality lignum vitae mallet of medium weight followed by 13000 knocks on one of the latest knocking in machines. Attention is given to key areas such as the edges, toe and main blade.
- Final Stages: A heavier lignum vitae mallet is used to complete the knocking in. The bat is then given a final coat of Owzat bat oil on the blade, sides and back and allowed to dry completely.
- Optional Additions: Fibreglass tape and an anti-scuff sheet can be applied for added protection upon request.
