Hi! I’m Len. A cricket-mad dad who’s spent a lifetime chasing the perfect bat. Years ago, I struggled to find a high-quality cricket bat that didn’t cost the earth — so I decided to make my own. That’s how Trogon Cricket was born: a place where every bat is handmade by me using traditional tools and the best English willow, giving players top-level performance without the sky-high price. My hope is that our bats help cricketers of all ages play with confidence, passion, and a smile. And it’s not just bats — I’ve sourced top-quality pads, gloves, and other softs from trusted suppliers, ensuring every piece of gear offers exceptional protection and comfort at a price that makes sense. Whether you’re walking out to bat or diving in the field, our equipment is made to help you play your best without breaking the bank.
Happy Trogon Cricketers

Unfortunately, my son has taken a liking to it.... Thank the heavens it's a little too small for him! I'm busy annoying family and neighbours by knocking it in now....

Awesome bat! Great bat and loved everything about it. Amazing stick. Awesome bat! Great bat and loved everything about it.
This was ready from the off and the best bat I've ever bought. Best bat ever! Picked up this beauty in the winter, ready for pre season as its an absolute gun of a bat! Usually bats take 2/3 years to bed in and find there best, but this was ready from the off and the best bat I've ever bought!
It's changed her game completely! Perfect shape and beautifully light. I bought this for my daughter last week and it's changed her game completely! She's not the strongest girl on the pitch which makes the weight of this bat perfect for her and makes it easy for her to handle. Highly recommend this bat for any budding cricketer!

Cricket Bat Warranty
Cricket can be an expensive game to play, that's why here at Trogon, we are proud to offer a comprehensive product warranty on all our cricket bats, and soft leather goods, so whether you're purchasing a custom-made bat, a pre-made bat, or one of our top-quality leather pads, gloves, or kit bags, you can be confident that if anything goes wrong your are covered.
Let's start with our cricket bats.
Our bats are built to last, but even the toughest equipment can be vulnerable to damage from time to time. That's why we offer a warranty on all of our bats that covers horizontal breakage for up to 6 months from the date of purchase.
If the blade of your bat should break horizontally across the grains within that time frame, we will replace it like-for-like, no questions asked.
However, it's important to note that not all damage is covered under our warranty.
For example, if the blade is broken due to a lack of knocking in, or if the edges are cracked or the toe is damaged due to facing a yorker, these are considered to be normal wear and tear and are not covered under warranty.
To activate the cricket bat warranty, please click on this Google Forms Warranty and complete the details.
Yes, Grade 1 English willow is the highest quality available. It offers excellent performance, clean grain structure, and is typically used by professional and serious amateur cricketers.
Grade 1 willow usually has straight, even grains (typically 6–12), minimal blemishes, and a clean playing surface. It’s also known for excellent ping and responsiveness, especially in handmade bats.
Yes, while all willow grades can perform, higher grades like Grade 1 tend to offer a better sweet spot, more consistent superior ping
English willow is prized for its softness and performance. It’s grown slowly, hand-selected, and often handcrafted into bats, contributing to its higher cost and premium feel.
With proper knocking-in, regular oiling, and care, an English willow bat can last several seasons. Grade 1 bats tend to be more durable due to their superior pressing and quality.
For players who demand excellence at the crease, our Grade 1 Short Handle Cricket Bat is built for those serious about their game. Whether you're stepping out to open the innings or holding steady in the middle order, this bat is designed for you. Made from the finest English willow and weighing just 2lb 9oz, it offers a beautifully balanced profile with a light pick-up. That means you can play your shots confidently, knowing the bat responds to your every movement. With an incredible ping and a sweet spot that delivers powerful strokes, it's perfect for club players, semi-professionals, and anyone chasing their best season yet.
Our Grade 1 English Willow Cricket Bat doesn't just look the part, it performs under pressure.
