Hand Knocking with Toe Binding is the full preparation service for a new bat, done properly by the team at Best Cricket Store. Your bat receives machine knocking (10K) followed by careful hand knocking, with the edges rounded and the blade oiled, so the willow is compressed and ready to face a hard ball. Toe binding is fitted, and both a scuff sheet and an edge scuff sheet are applied to protect the face and edges. Send your bat in unprepared and it comes back match-ready.
