All Woodworm bats are pre-knocked in. Pre-knocked in however does not mean ready to go immediately. It means that the majority of preparation work has been done, but that you will need to complete the final part of the process. We therefore recommend that you spend between 45 minutes and an hour finishing knocking your bat in.
This is best done with a purpose-made bat mallet, either a smooth wooden mallet or a ball-on-handle mallet. Hit the bat firmly with the bat mallet for a short period, just tap it. It is important that you make sure that the toe and the edges of the bat are well knocked-in.
After you have finished knocking in the bat, we recommend that you play the bat in gently in a net session. Bat in a defensive manner and attempt to hit the ball with the middle of your bat. A soft, old ball should be used in this initial net session.
