The best demonstration of bat maintainance i have ever seen in my life.#respect

[@0164himanshu]

great information. i was not aware that oiling or scuff sheet are mutually exclusive methods.

[@RegressorTac]

My method to knock in the edge is to tap the edge with moderate intensity and keep it close to a 90 degree angle (although I could deviate slightly to 85-80 degrees). Once the willow fibers close to and at the edges begin to compress, the surface inclines and then I tap the inclined area at approximately a 90 degree angle to it (tap the mallet at the inclined area directly--i.e. approximately 80 degrees to the blade) and this, too, gives a good rounding/bulging out effect with the edges hardened as well. 45 degrees defeats the purpose of moving the middle dent out towards the sides and compresses the fibers in opposite directions at the edge.

That’s great video about bat Maximum Respect for you thx I really like way as you explain in this video thx !!

[@RJ-bv2om]

Easy breeze good job, today I learned how to put grip and fix bat.

[@sidutube]

I got one made from you just before the start of the 2010-2011 season. I've played for two seasons with it and is still awesome. My question is that can I, oil the bat first and then face it?

[@chakradharkandula6670]

thnks man!

[@vandybsb]

I really liked your video but I didn't understand one thing after oiling the bat we can apply the facing sheet or not

[@bartronZ]

If applying facing(extra tec) you do not need to oil the face, only oil all the exposed wood after applying the facing.

[@maxconway9470]

Should you only oil or put a protective face on it or can you do both

[@laeeqahmed1980]

oh no he cuts the bat into half.

[@MacHelpManHD]

Yes you can. Like he said in the video i would give it about 6-8 coats and then face the bat. You are now ready to knock in your cricket bat.

[@karratts]

The addition of weight post-oiling is very subjecive. Here, the gentleman meausures 'a coat' of oil using the bottle cap, however others may may use more than that which could be one coat for them...

[@mhaseeb-zn4cx]

Which bat is best for beginners Kashmir willow or English willow And also why we use to oil the bat?

[@nicholasjoseph699]

where can you get a mallet like that?

[@jonnyalfred6390]

I just got a cricket bat and when I started to knock it in, the face began to crack and flake so I would like you to tell me or advise me what to do. It's a new bat which was never used before. Please help me

[@nicholasjoseph699]

Where can I get a nylon mallet like that?

[@shivvohra3398]

Willow hd you should NEVER apply more than 4 coats as it will rot your bat. Under oiling is indeed better than over oiling

[@AyushSingh-xe5mp]

how many days bats get oiled

[@randysngh]

Does the "Knots" in the willow weaken the bat

[@affinitycricketuk397]

Randy Singh a formed knot maybe but for most blemish knots no, these will tie the fibres together better than unblemished timber.

[@kushkhatri3564]

Plz help my gray nicols bat came pre prepared with a covered face do I need to knock it if it came pre prepreaded

[@MrFifaBasher]

Kingline 5858 You still need to knock it in but only for 1-2 hours :)

[@kushkhatri3564]

ViZioN ArCtiX ok

I live in new york. I tried to visit the website. It says it no longer exists. how can I contact julian and place an order?

[@Lekkasport]

+naz din Julian to my knowledge is not making bats anymore on a commercial basis. Have you tried contacting him here on KZbin ?

[@neelnadu]

[@bartronZ]

Knocking in advice starts at 6.00

[@aparnabanerjee1259]

ooooo

[@dwaipayandattaroy9801]

Paagla sir

[@crichards3925]

I find it better and easier just to fold the grip over the end of the handle rather then cutting it

[@UnholySoul]

is that Anupam Kher ?

[@Farnhamification]

I can never get the shoe goo to look like a "clean, neat gel" - the water trick didn't help. But it protects the bat anyway, so whatever.

[@dwaipayandattaroy9801]

You spoiled the bat

[@dwaipayandattaroy9801]

25 k bat destroyed
