Thanks alot man. It was really helpful

[@mandyattri]

Brilliant.... and its very helpful thanks mate

[@cricketmerchant]

Thank you.

[@rageshnarayan9965]

Brilliant and informative video..Thanks..One doubt how long should I keep the bat after oiling it first time before going for knocking session?

[@cricketmerchant]

ragesh nair keep it for minimum 24 hour or until you feel the surface non-oily.

[@akshaykhanna4979]

thanks cricket merchant

[@bhavyadave1290]

Nice video bhai

[@jassi445]

I really like your review videos how come you are not making any new ones lately?!

[@cricketmerchant]

[@sriramgreymatters]

Hello sir, I follow all your videos they have very valuable inputs. I have recently bought a SS master 5000 bat with 7 grains on it. I just want to know few things veru clearly before knocking as it is expensive bat and cannot afford to buy an another one if something goes wrong with my knocking. 1)Do i have to oil and keep the bat aside for some time to gain its moisture to gain back(if so for how long shall i keep it aside and which condition(outdoor or indoor). 2)As you have mentioned in the video you said you have to knock it for 6 to 7 hrs, so it it ok if i knock my bat for 1 hour a day fpr 7 days amd then take it to nets before playing,or is it fine to knock it for 1 hour and have a 30 minutes net session(bola machine) a day, for a week time? 3)which of the following is recommended, Knocking in the middle or put an antiscuff sheet and toe tip(as ther were many debates on not good knocking in middle). 4) lastely how often do i have to oil my bat after thins process. Will be awainting for your valuable response and thanks in advance.😊

[@fawadkhan821]

Knocking is not an hours thing.... It is a feel thing..... No one touches ur bat so hours don't matter. What matters is how the bat feels ready or not.

[@krrishmadaan3151]

You are awsm sir♥️♥️♥️

[@pk8253]

Thank you for sharing this information. Very simple and practical and you clear say there is no short cut to this 😁

[@ujwalponnaluri9800]

Nice video

[@masiman15]

How long do you recommend I knock in each edge for?

[@cricketmerchant]

not too much or else you may endup delaminating the bat.

[@ganeshscd4117]

Thank you so much

[@devrajpihu3572]

You take perfect care of your bat

[@TheShivmalik87]

Hi, thanks for your earlier reply. I had a quick question tho, I purchased some linseed oil from amazon and I'm a lil worried that it's not the right oil, any way to tell the difference between the right oil? The label on the bottle says cricket bat oil from SS and the supplier has already disappeared off amazon.

[@cricketmerchant]

if the oil is from SS it may be a good oil. you can check out site cricketmerchant.com to compare the product by looking at the picture.

[@TheShivmalik87]

Your video is probably the best detailed explained. I do have a question tho. How can you tell if the cricket bat needs oil or not. I just purchased a brand new one and I'm not sure if it's pre oiled or not...

[@cricketmerchant]

If you do not see wood hair fragments on the bat surface; front or back, you do not need oiling. If you bat weight is decreased compare to when you purchased, wood has lost moisture and shall require oiling. Hope it helps.

[@navrajrai1189]

thanks for your knowledge dude

[@uniquetechytricky2928]

The bat's grains are very good and define!

[@azhariqbalshah2444]

salam thanks a lot it really helped but tell me that can i use any oil example coconut oil etc plzzz tell me ☺

[@cricketmerchant]

Linseed oil is recommended

[@cricketmerchant]

Use non-processed(raw) linseed oil. Hanging ball will knock the bat, use a wooden mallet or give fielding and catching practice (30 min sessions) for next 15 days.

[@dhruvsingh7790]

Use only linseed oil

[@ScruffyWombat]

I recently bought a bat saying ready for use. Does it still need knocking in or can I use it now.

[@gskn4usan]

you still need to knock...for better results and good bat life....

[@cricketmerchant]

Santosh Guduru you are so true.. Matthew, yes knocking is essential for good performance. Once you start knocking you will start seeing dent's on the soft willow.. keep it pressing until those dent start disappearing.

[@jalili93]

Great video and detail into bat care

[@cricketmerchant]

Glad you liked it!

[@shovit_Ag]

should i put face cover before knocking or after knocking?

[@cricketmerchant]

if you are going to oil put it after the oil settles in.. or once the surface is not oily.

[@guneetsinghjass]

Hey i got 2 Wombats cricket bats imported from Australia..both are having Fiber tapes on their faces..and i really dont want to remove them as they perfectly fitted over the bats..so is it necessary to oil them and if yes, then how can i oil them if the fiber tape is there..? and if oiling isnt possible in such case then can i continue with the knocking only? please reply me asap as i need to prepare them before mid of june..!! and one more thing..as both the bats came with fibre tapes over them, so is it possible to knock them with the tape stick over them?

[@cricketmerchant]

Sab, you do not need to remove fiber tape. Apply oil in all exposed willow area.

[@guneetsinghjass]

cricketmerchant alright thanx...and i have already started hammering both of them as told by u in the video..and rounded the edges to some extend..but can you that how many time do i need to hammer them per day? and till how many days??

[@cricketmerchant]

Sab -E A bat would need approximate 6 hours of total knocking before it is ready for a game.

[@guneetsinghjass]

ok bro..thanx alot..:D..!!

[@champamondal707]

Very nice

[@prantopodder5038]

make a video about how to buy and choose a cricket bat.

[@cricketmerchant]

Good suggestion, will look into this, may be this would be more helpful to most.

[@jashenhunjan1194]

How long should you leave the oil on the bat for ?

[@cricketmerchant]

after applying each quote leave the bat for at least 24 hrs

[@rajkumar-le1zb]

[@cricketmerchant]

[@atulvyas9411]

NICE

[@strikestuff]

Hey I loved this video, very useful! Please tell me how long I need to knock in for? Thanks!

[@cricketmerchant]

We suggest to work on it for max 6 hours... with that said, more you knock you may end up softening up the willow upper surface, which is not good for the willow. Knock it for 5-6 hours and than let the game or practice take care of the rest.

[@strikestuff]

cricketmerchant Ok, thanks for helping!

[@abhishekrai7118]

I think you should make a video how to buy and select new bàts of good quality

[@cricketmerchant]

Agree, i will add a video on that.

[@uvk8779]

when do you know the bat is ready to play with after oiling, and knocking ?

[@LokiYT]

When you hear sweet sound in the middle and bottom

[@gursimransingh1402]

No seam mark after bouncing new ball on bat

[@abhishekrai7118]

for how many days we should knock the bat ? please reply

[@cricketmerchant]

max 6 oto 7 hours if you do not go in net practice twice a day. If you do net practice twice a day and bat for 2 hours every day you can manually hand knock the bat for two hours and play it in nets.

[@deepakghimire9702]

Technical Abhishek pool

[@LokiYT]

7-8 hours tops and you can use it in matches, while most of the SS and SG bats now a days just needs minimal knocking to round up the edges and ready to play

[@gautambaruah07]

Good

Super sir

[@shyamarora6922]

can't we..just..complete our knocking with the use of knocking machine..!! without oiling..first..?

[@cricketmerchant]

Yes you can. To avoid hair line cracks on bat face, oiling is preferred prior to knocking.

[@xyzphysics2306]

@@cricketmerchant what if you have a anti scuff sheet on

[@cricketmerchant]

@@xyzphysics2306 You can remove it with heat gun or knock on top to that.

This video is very useful for all bat seasoning guys ... Great info

[@cricketmerchant]

Thank you!

[@timwalker5646]

nice video.first do not put stickers on until you have oiled the bat.also you need to hone the side of the bat so you have a small rounding edge.then you can start knocking in starting on the edges.when doing the blade start in the middle and work up then down.

[@Chaigy-is-cracked12]

Finally found someone who doesn't hit the bat at a 90 degree angle with the mallet! Everyone else I've watched is doing that

[@deepakchaudhary4386]

that is good

[@kabirraja4807]

In stead of natural linseed oil u can use worktop oil If u don't have it

[@utkarshshrivastava1254]

No u should use raw linseed oil U will get it any sports shop or on amazon

[@shovit_Ag]

i have bought a new ss ton bat. so how to start knoking? first with oil or wooden mallet or a leather ball?

[@sivav5896]

Thank you very much for the video!!! It really heps.. How many days do we need to knock a bat and how long a day?

[@cricketmerchant]

knock for max 6 hours, than let the ball do the rest in nets or game

With or without protective sheet, would you recommend?

Do we need to oil the bat prior to knocking everytime? Plus how many times do we o the bat a year?

[@arctic5119]

Can you tell any gm cricket bat which is best for under 13 players,and Is there any tips for knocking a bat without a mallet.

[@ravindra7377]

Great guidance, My question is I started knocking in new bat, 48 hrs after 3rd coat (oil), can i put on xtratec after 3 times of oil or after completing knocking in, because it provides better protection for the bat? Thanking you.

[@cricketmerchant]

+brizzy ran You can put it on after the bat dries out. If you put it prior to that, xtratec may come off.

[@thuhinraj]

+cricketmerchant: 1) Y is it not preferred to hit 90 degrees on the bottom of the bat? how is it damaging? Can i knw the technical reason behind it pls. 2) Also, how much time should I leave the bat after oiling to dry it? 3) is it recommended to knock even at the back of the bat?

[@cricketmerchant]

+Thuhin Raj Das answer in numbers 1) chances are you may split or crack the edge 2) 24 to 36 hours to dry 3) only playing area requires knocking

[@athutonda]

or to apply linsed oil

[@NaveenJKenyan]

Thanks a lot for the video.. It is really very helpful and informative... Have a question... I have GM zona contender Kashmir willow bat, does it require oiling and knocking?
