DIY Knocking in a Pre-prepared bat
Is my bat ready to use immediately when I get it?
No. Even after a press or pre-preparation (Extratec) your bat will require a further 5-6 hours knocking in before they are ready for use in match conditions please click here to learn how to knock your bat in.
What is Extratec?
Extratec is a clear abrasive film which self-adheres to the face of the bat to help prevent damage to the blade. We have several styles that vary in levels of face protection, the strongest available is Fibretec Facing and is heavily recommended for our premium bat range.
