Whether you're smashing it to the rope or nudging it through the covers, every short handle bat here is built to meet the demands of modern cricketers.
Each bat in this range has been individually handmade in our Trogon workshop using traditional tools, careful craftsmanship, and the finest quality English willow. From the seasoned pro to the Sunday league battler, we’ve got a blade that’ll feel like it was made just for you – because, in many ways, it is.

What Makes a Trogon Bat Different?
We don’t follow trends. We follow tradition – and we back it with performance. Every adult cricket bat in this collection is individually made by hand using a cleft of English willow that has been naturally dried and chosen for its grain structure, balance, and potential.
We press our bats for performance, not mass production. Each one is handled by a real bat maker, checked for balance and ping, and finished by hand so it feels ready from the moment it arrives.
