Rehandling
At Owens cricket, we predominantly shape our handles to semi oval at the bottom and rounded at the top; this gives an all-around comfortable feel in the batman's hands. If you prefer a round hande, no problem, we can shape your new handle to your desired shape. On top of the rehandle work, your bat will get a full refurbishment.Cost £60 plus return postage* note that old stickers will be discarded, customers can bring their own stickers, or a set of our own can be purchased at £10
Repairs
We can repair your damage, this includes shoulder splits, toe, or edge damage. All bats will be fully refurbished, and a new grip and scuff sheet is applied. If you would like just a freshen up of the bat face and preserve the stickers, this can be done.Cost starting from £25-45 a price will be given upon receipt of your bat. Return postage is not included.* note that old stickers will be discarded, customers can bring their own stickers, or a set of our own can be purchased at £10
Knocking in
Every cricket bat, whether one of ours or from any manufacturer, will require knocking in. Don't be fooled by bats that are 'ready to play.' No bat is prepared to take out to the middle from new. We oil the blade, bone the edges, and knock in by hand using a Lignum Vitae mallet. After knocking in, your bat must be 'played in' as many gentle throw downs with an older ball as you can manage. After this, seam marks may still appear on the face of the blade.
Replication
If you have an old favourite that is past its prime, send it to us or the photos and specs, and we can make a perfect replica. Replication is Owens Cricket taking your favourite bat and copying its shape and design to create a new version. Modifications can be included in the process to make your profile fit changes in your game or physique. Before this process can be started, we need to discuss your requirements carefully. Cost £220-330
Rebalancing
Danny provided 2 bat refurbishments to 2 teammates. Both were delighted and said it was like having a brand new bat. Also provided me with some new keeper pads. Amazing quality, will definitely be using his services again.
