Our Trogon Cricket Story

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

About This Trogon Cricket Bat

This local approach allows us to oversee the entire process, from cleft to finish, and produce bats that meet the high standards expected by cricketers at every level.

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.

A Grade 1 English Willow Cricket Bat FAQs

Is Grade 1 English willow the best?

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.

Does willow grade affect performance?

Yes, while all willow grades can perform, higher grades like Grade 1 tend to offer a better sweet spot, more consistent superior ping

Why is English willow so expensive?
