[@omsaibrahmbhatt5670]

For knocking in a bat that is soft🤣 when u get to the last stages of knocking u should be smashing it as hard as you can

[@aman.2912]

this is the most comprehensive video I've seen on the subject. This is the kind of wholesome content that needs to be out there!

[@vivekdixit7105]

Love the energy Jason. Great video series on knocking a bat.

[@bpcjk]

One stop video for all of your Cricket bat prepping. Thanks for such a detailed video showing all the aspects.

[@simonhughes9449]

Jason, Great Job - best video I have seen on prepping a new bat. My annoyance with new bats is the information provided by the manufacturer and how much of a variation is given... even with my new Puma bat - there are two labels and each says something different in regards to oiling and whether you need to oil where a face guard is fitted. Always think the traditional ways are best!

[@sumairchaudhary8657]

Thank you Jason, this is excellent.

[@avstyle28]

Best video ever deep knowledge about bat knocking grains

[@YouFishTV]

More grains means slower slower growing surely. Took 13 growth seasons across a blade as opposed to say 5 which would surely be younger tree

[@junii741]

I was about to write this

[@mar504]

yeah, the dude is a saleman for sure. Does all this bat knocking actually help with something or is it a gimmick?

[@alexcottam9687]

mar504 helps stop it breaking and cracking, but all bats nowadays are pressed and it’s only really the edges that need any sort of attention.it won’t make you Chris Gayle overnight like everyone seems to think.

[@fransreks8743]

Well, common sense tells you the thinner the grains the younger and weaker the tree. The fatter the grains the older the tree. That's why more grains will break easier.

[@tassiloerhardt6596]

Precisely! And it's FEWER grains, not less!

[@conormccann5822]

[@sujitgupta5087]

Still watching it. But mate. You’re so knowlgeable and made me really look forward to getting my new cricket bat. The county stag 5 insignia. If you know about it. What do you think?

[@chatterjeeankur]

Hey Jason, do I need to oil my bat which I used last year before my next season starts this year?

[@sanketsam7406]

Jason which oil we need to apply and can I use teflon hammer/ mallet for knocking ??

[@sriramgreymatters]

Haha funny amd informative. Thanks mate

[@Madjamy]

I have a Gray Nicolls, the sweet spot sounds very soft and pings well, however right above the sweet spot the bats sounds very hard and doesn't ping that well, should I continue to pound it with mallet?... Its been on machine for 30 mins at time of purchase.

[@wyneewu6561]

[@aashutoshgaurav5674]

does this work for kashmir willow bats too ? I've got a SG 2020 special edition

[@javedfaizal3668]

Can you do a review on the Adidas Libro cx11 edition 2015 sh (short handle) ? that would be appreciated thx!

[@shahriarjamal3419]

Hey Jason, do you have store located on United States? I would like to send my bat to knock.

[@vandanawaikar6240]

VER USEFUL INFORMATION

[@rajmansukhani2093]

dear i have a bat with 9-10 grains .its heavy about 2.12. got it knocked and oiled. don't know if they did a good job on it. have done few nets and the sweet spot is good now and but just. but do u think once the bat played and knocked once and still the bottom is not that good. i can oil and knock it again. will that make a difference

[@gopinathpichikala6814]

I like it when u said " this is where the wife brings in divorce papers" lol Nice video... useful *thumps up*

[@niladrisekharsaha9026]

[@tarxseige2605]

[@keshavrajlahoti8109]

[@dhirajpatel7153]

Hi, i ve got a kookaburra ghost 300 and it says oil and knocked. Got this 3 months sgo. Haven’t used in a match yet or any practice session. Can i oil it again before using it? Suggestions please

[@1972dsrai]

Laying the bat flat makes more sense than leaving it upright after oiling.

[@zachb1706]

Extratec comes up around edges. Is this intended? How can i provent this while knocking in

[@blazinghoundoom936]

My SS Master comes with a face cover. Do I need to oil it? And, Can I knock without removing the cover? Also, Can a bat be knocked after playing with it for a while? Thanks.

[@gavinlynch7967]

for the edges what we do is run it down the edge of the bath and it really rounds the edge of the bat save you hammering the edges

[@joelprabu4842]

which oil I use for knocking?

[@caramelpuggaming5893]

hi just another tip put on power tape on the edges and toes for exstra strenght

[@pranavgpt877]

A very detailed and informative video on preparing a bat for play. However mr. Jason, i would like to ask you how frequently do i have to knock in and oil my bat?

[@imaries8102]

You only need to knock in once and once the first few layers (2-4) of the oil are set it only needs to be done before the start of the new season :)

[@johnmikel7784]

I just bought CA-15000, it's says fully knocked, do I need to knock my bat? Or does it require oil?

[@rounaksubramanian1686]

what is the spartan 2017 edition English willow cricket bats prices

[@dickomanu]

Are you Hitting the edges directly ? as that looks the case ?

[@jackkartik]

have GM aura it's said knocked and oiled ready to play and also it has scuff sheet on it .I know it's not enough ready to play I want to knock the face more my problem is the scuff sheet on it .can I know the bat with scuff sheet ?

[@vinaysharma9600]

well done

[@pallavahariprasad]

What brand knocking machine is that?

[@ShridharOza]

Hey jason. Do season cricket bats need knocking in?

[@arvindsomakumar359]

Hi ... Is oiling needed to soften the willow surface or to seal the moisture in? I see u started by saying its to seal the moisture. If that's true shouldn't you oil the entire bat(exposed area)? Oil really doesn't soften the wood, does it? It hardly penetrates into the wood.

[@multiplefelonies9540]

Do I have to coat the back of the bat because my bat has batting tape on the hitting side

[@robbenrawat]

Hi Jason, nice informative video..Too bad you are too far away from India to give my 8 year old sons bat for knocking... However I have a query, I brought a SG bat and it has a butter paper cover on top on the business area of the bat... My question is... 1-do I have to peel of that paper before oiling n knocking....? 2- Shall I put that paper back on after I am done with oiling n knocking? 3- Is it necessary to put that paper always on the bat?? Thanks in advance

[@aayushsharma2809]

If i have started bat knocking without using oil before so can i start it again with oiling process.

[@jmcronin1]

Larger grains means a more rapid growth. The tree with smaller grains has grown less in the growing season.

[@Stevejonseys69]

That’s literally what he said mate

[@robertlane304]

@@Stevejonseys69 No its not, he said the opposite, he said more grains grew quicker

[@mbzinfpt]

That is exactly why kashmir willows have more and smaller grains because those trees are not cultivated on purpose. English willows come from plantation and that is why they have bigger evenly spaced grains and springy response.

[@gargiraut3324]

My new bat's bottom makes a hollow sound when I hit with the mallet. I tried some underarm shots with it today, everything seems fine except that bottom making a horrid sound. Not sure if I chose the wrong bat or it just need to be knocked in more. English Willow. Help.

[@vishalsoni2344]

Which bay mallet to use while knocking in? can I use a Jason mellet?

[@suchethhegde8637]

lmao I see what you did there :")

[@sapnashinde1]

if you have sharp edges use sandpaper to round it..

[@samg8572]

Sound waves don’t break bats. Impact does. The lack of structural support at the toe due to being at the end of the grain and having less ‘meat’ behind it is why bats crack there.

[@ameenpasha1420]

hey Jason sir I like more ur channel and I want a tip to choose a good bad I wanna tips from u

[@adeebalam3549]

Is oiling necessary or can i only knock it...coz i am having an english tape wrapped over the face of the bat.....and if you may not have the mallet....can we do it with an old season ball??

[@ksa2199]

I started knoking my gray-nicolls bat , but I didn't apply raw linseed oil is it okay or shall I apply it now ?

[@HerminatorOwnage]

can I just use a ball mallet for the entire knocking in process?

[@naveedraza1393]

can you plz tell me that in subcontinent what oil would be used if this oil not available. ...

[@sherisebentley2753]

my 13 year old son just got a new GM bat which he bought himself and we were told to oil all of the bat where there are not any stickers but you only oiled the face. What is best to do before knocking it in. He is totally loving his new bat and we want to do it properly.

[@rajasekhark312]

Excellent explanation...:)

[@umairxd6558]

Hi Jason! I'm 14 and I just got a gray nicolls a few days ago for £200 (About 250$) it's pretty good and it came with a scuff sheet put on so I can't oil it. It does say that it is pre-prepared and hen I hit it with a seam of the ball there was no mark and I hit it a few times. So do u think it's ready for a net session? It has around 7 grains. I have a cricket match for under 14 tmrw aswell and I was hoping I could use it. I usually come in 4th. I did kno it personally for about an hour

[@Josh3012]

I have used pre-knocked bats at a similar price with no extra knocking in, so you should be fine. I would trust Gray Nicolls to have knocked it in properly for you. You can apply a *very small* amount of oil with a soft cloth to the wood that isn't covered by the scuff sheet. You should do this once before every season. If you are worried you can always knock your bat in yourself before the net session! Extra knocking in doesn't hurt your bat.

[@aftab6417]

Sir will the weight of the bat increase if we oil the cricket bat ..

[@pradeepprakash4753]

I have bought a new bat of ss extreme of Kashmir Willow what kind of knocking I have to do in it

[@1972dsrai]

Is it a good idea to sand the bat with fine sandpaper before applying the oil? PS have you ever damaged a bat during the knocking in process?

[@neeraj9142]

@Cricket Store Online Do you recommend using the liquid super glue for even minor, minor (millimeter) cracks on the edge when knocking in the edges?

[@cricket_store_online]

Need to see to understand what your question is

[@shionebenezer6936]

Nice

[@Blaze_-mo9pe]

My grade two cricket bat has hard wood and I didn’t realise that it was hard wood and while knocking it it had little cracks. Can u tell me what I should do pls?

[@playarf]

any alternative to wood mallet? i dont have it

[@sikkandarbasha8845]

Sir am from India can you tell me which bat is good to play can tell me a name please
