Nice to see a DF Magnum again!
While knocking-in is a process I still only hand knock my bats rather than have them machine knocked. For me, I feel that it gives me a better understanding of the bats balance, weight, feel etc.
Definitely, and if you knock it in yourself, most people tend to look after their bat a bit more due to the hours they've put into preparing their bat.
@@FantailCricket I wouldn't disagree as I spent 4hours+ knocking in short bursts as you mentuoned in the vid. Luckily my bat has finished the season in pristine condition after a full season of nets & games & only needed a light sand. Then I gave it 2 coats of linseed oil over 4 days & placed a new fibretec sheet on the face. Now I'm all set for my Winter nets.
Wow some classic bats. The SS, GM, County, V100 and the Duncan Fearnley.
I had a Duncan Fearnley when I was 12 years old, 26 years ago wow 😯 ... Trying to get one to buy to keep as a memorabilia.
You are amazing! Great clarity in video and way in which you explain. Keep it up mate!
Thanks, will do!
Sir besides your vedios I like your simplicity and pleasent way of talkingk...best of luck from INDIA👍
Thanks.
Yes love from india ,Andhra Pradesh
Is it ok to hit the toe of the bat that hard? I heard you should hit it at 45 degree angle so it doesn’t crack.
Such a beautiful bat
I was told that modern new bats need not be knocked in. Is that right? The one I bought is an English willow Gray Nicholls and has a parchment like sheet going over the edge 1” either side. Should the bat be still oiled and knocked in?
Yes
That bat looks beautiful
Love from India bro😍🤩😍
The back of my sons bat is extremely dry, do you use beeswax on the back of the bat. Thanks and the guide is really helpful
Great video Mate. Tell me something. I placed the bat on the sand of a beach volleyball court and knocked it as I didnt want the vibrations to affect my other hand all the time. Is that okay? I see a crack on the bat now and I am not sure what cause it or when it happened.
I don't know how to knocking the bat thanks for guide very helpful for me 👍
No problem 👍
Is it necessary to oil a new bat ?
Before applying protection sticker is it compulsory to knock tha bat.
Love from INDIA ❤️
Let us know if you have any questions that we didn't answer in the video.
if I don't have a mallet and I use a ball in a sock to knock in the bat, do you think it will be the same procedure, if not what do you recommend
@@jedidiahjohn7576 We would recommend getting a wooden mallet as a ball in a sock will unlikely make an indent as there isn't enough resistance, and you won't have the same accuracy as you would with a mallet.
Make a video on how to threading of bat handle
why is it necessary to do knocking what's the purpose?
When you sanding it wont it leave scrathes on the face from the sand paper?
How long do u have to knock a bat for ??? 30 mins in each edge, 30 mins in the toe and 30 mins in the face is enough ?
So 15 minutes on each edge, how long for the toe and through sweet spot- I don't think you mentioned. Also, is that the total required. I've heard some guys say you need to knock in your bat for 6 hours!
He do mentioned..tow 15 mins..face 30 mins
Edges 15 minutes each side, toe 15 minutes and sweet spot 30 minutes
make sure to knock your bat at least 20,000 times
Sir, tell me uses of linseed oil and bat wax?
I’ve got a knocking in mallet that’s basically a cricket ball on a handle will that work fine? And what bat is that it looks amazing
Hi Callum, the Fantail bat is our Tone shape. We would recommend a wooden mallet as the ball is softer than a wooden mallet which may mean that you're not making enough of an impression to knock the bat in to the level it requires. You also don't want the ball's seam making impressions on the blade during the knocking in process.
@@FantailCricket thanks mate👍 and could you guys do a review of the senior tone bat?
Thanks, how if I round edges using sand paper
Awesome you really have good bats collections. Let me know if you are selling it
Thanks. No, sorry we only sell new bats.
Hi! Just wanted to ask, can we knock used bats too? My bat is 6 months old and I play matches with it. The sweet spot is great but small. Do you think knocking the bat regularly would increase the size of the sweet spot towards the edges and toe?
Yes, you can knock in bats at any stage of their life. If the bat has a narrow sweet spot, it may be under-pressed. Using a mallet, see if you are making impressions on the face while knocking at the same power you see in the video. If you are, then it will require further knocking.
@@FantailCricket thanks!
@@FantailCricketcan i knock even after ball marks
Nice...👍.
Thanks.
What sandpaper was used??
What does knocking it in do
Knocking the bag in condenses the fibres and makes the soft wood much harder. If I you don’t knock it in your bat will probably break
Hi sir big fans india
if i take it to a. cricket store will they do it for me
Make a video on threading of cricket bat handle
Confused? Ive heard others say never hold the bat in the middle as the vibrations weaken the splice glue so best to hold the handle and never hit the sides at an angle??
Nice useful information #sahilsachinvlogs
Can anyone tell me if a rubber mallet is ok to knock in your bat?
no
You don't oil the edges?

Woooo
why did u changed the bat
I think you could keep a bat company👏👏👍
He has a bat company
What to do when a bat is overoil?
Why do other videos recommend 4-5 hours knocking in time but you recommend only 1hr 30mins?
is coconut oil work?
Many years ago when I played Cricket the shop you bought your bat from knocked it in for you in their knocking machine
A lot of cricket stores still offer a knocking in service. This video helps those who want to complete the service themselves.
From 3:38 15 each on edges and toe = 45min and 30mins on the sweet spot
😊😊😊👍👍👍🏏🏏🏏⚾⚾⚾
