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

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 considered the best available. It’s the highest quality wood used in cricket bats, known for its straight grains, performance consistency, and excellent ping. It’s favoured by professional cricketers worldwide.
Grade 1 willow typically has 6 to 12 straight grains, minimal blemishes, and a clean, even face. It’s carefully selected for performance and appearance. Our bats are hand-graded and shaped to showcase the best qualities of each cleft.
English willow is grown slowly under cooler conditions, which enhances its performance but makes it rarer and more expensive to source.
While lower grades can still perform well, Grade 1 willow offers the most responsive feel, longer-lasting sweet spot, and quicker break-in time. It’s ideal for serious players who want every advantage at the crease.
With proper care and maintenance, a Grade 1 bat can last several seasons. Its superior wood quality and pressing mean it holds up well to frequent play, especially if it’s regularly knocked-in and protected.
If you're a serious cricketer searching for a professional-grade blade that feels as good as it looks, this Grade 1 English Willow Cricket Bat, weighing 2lb 8.5oz, is built for you. Ideal for top-order batters and all-rounders who love dominating the crease with confidence, it's a perfect combination of performance and presence.
With a lightweight pick-up, this cricket bat lets you react quicker, drive harder, and play freely across the ground. The sweet spot is immense, the ping is incredible, and the profile is powerful, all designed to give you that match-winning edge.
Ready to buy your next go-to match bat? This one’s made to deliver.
This isn’t just another cricket bat, it’s a powerhouse made from the finest Grade 1 English willow, hand-selected for elite performance. Every cleft is shaped to bring out its natural grain structure and performance capabilities. The massive edges and spine create explosive power, while the precise pressing ensures maximum ping and feel.
Balanced to perfection, this bat feels lighter than its 2lb 8.5oz weight, making it ideal for stroke makers who value fast hands and quick feet. Whether you're cutting through gaps or launching over mid-wicket, this bat delivers.
With a clean, traditional finish and contemporary profile, this bat looks as good as it performs. It's not only designed for club cricketers and county hopefuls, but also for anyone who wants to invest in their game.
