Part 1

Hit the face of the bat with a wooden mallet.

Hit the face of the bat with a wooden mallet. Hit the face with moderate force so that it creates a shallow indent in the bat. Start soft and hit the face harder as you get more comfortable with the mallet. You may have to hit the bat fairly hard to indent it, but dont do it hard enough to break the bat.[3]

• Hold your cricket bat up to a light to see whether you made the indent.

Part 2

Continue hitting the face of the bat until it’s completely level.

Continue hitting the face of the bat until it’s completely level. The goal is to get the face of the cricket bat the same height as the initial indent that you made. Keep knocking down on the face of the bat with moderate force. Start from the top and keep knocking it until the entire face of the bat is the same height.[4]

· This process takes around 6 hours to properly complete. The more time you spend knocking the bat in, the less likely it is to crack.

Part 3

Knock the edges of the bat

Knock the edges of the bat. Do not hit the edge of the bat directly or you could crack it. Instead, knock the area where the face and edge of the bat meet on a 45-degree angle. Start from the top of the bat and work your way down. When you’re done, work on the other edge until both of them have been knocked in.[5]

• The edges of a cricket bat commonly crack when they arent knocked in.

Part 4

Hit the toe of the bat with the mallet

Hit the toe of the bat with the mallet. The toe is on the end of the bat’s blade and is usually the thinnest part on your cricket bat. Use the same method as you did on the face of the bat, by making an initial impression and then leveling out the rest of the toe.
