A new bat should never go straight into a match, and Machine Knocking (20K) is the service that gets it ready. Your bat goes through 20,000 machine knocks so the willow is properly compressed and prepared before it faces a hard ball, and the team at Best Cricket Store handles the whole process for you. Sending your bat in for knocking-in is one of the simplest ways to protect your investment and start the season with a bat that is fully prepared, rather than risking damage in its first few outings.
