The Deluxe Bat Mallet is used as part of the preparation method for knocking-in a bat. The mallet is used to soften the face of a new cricket to get it ready to play with in the nets or in the match. Ease to hold and use, the mallet has a comfortable handle and is highly durable. We recommend using the Deluxe Bat Mallet for a couple of hours when the bat is brand new before using the bat against a cricket ball for the first time. For advice on knocking-in, get in touch with us. Features: Used for knocking-in new cricket bats Soften face before use Easy to use mallet
