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.

About This Trogon Cricket Bat

  • Made in West Sussex – Every Trogon Cricket bat is handmade in our dedicated workshop in West Sussex. We use traditional bat-making tools and methods to shape and finish each bat, ensuring attention to detail and consistent quality. 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.
  • English Willow Only – All Trogon bats are made exclusively from English willow, the finest wood for performance cricket bats. Known for its perfect balance of strength and responsiveness, English willow provides the ideal combination of power and feel at the crease. We source our clefts carefully to ensure each bat delivers the crisp ping and reliable durability expected by players who rely on their gear match after match.
  • Each Bat is Unique – No two Trogon bats are the same. Every cleft of willow has its own natural characteristics.

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 2 English Willow Cricket Bat FAQs


Is Grade 2 English willow good?

Yes, Grade 2 English willow is a great option for club and aspiring cricketers. It offers excellent performance, solid durability, and a good balance between value and quality, making it a popular choice for those who want premium features at a more affordable price.

What is the difference between Grade 1 and Grade 2 English willow?

Grade 1 willow typically has straighter, more even grains and minimal blemishes, making it top-tier for elite performance. Grade 2 still offers impressive ping and power but may show more visible grain irregularities or minor knots, without compromising on playability for most players.

Why is English willow so expensive?

English willow is grown in specific conditions in England and takes years to mature. The hand-selection, drying, and pressing processes all contribute to its cost. Its performance, responsiveness, and feel are what make it the material of choice for serious cricketers.

Does the weight of a bat affect performance?

Absolutely. While this bat weighs 2lb 12oz, its light pick-up closer to 2lb 9oz means faster bat speed and easier handling, particularly for front-foot play and quick singles. It offers the best of both worlds: power through the ball and nimble control.

What is a short handle cricket bat?

A short handle cricket bat is the standard adult size for players around 5’8” to 6’1” tall. It features a slightly shorter handle than long handle bats, offering better control and balance, perfect for most club cricketers and those who favour traditional setups.

Grade 2 English Willow Cricket Bat for Confident Players

You get the confidence of a powerful middle without sacrificing speed at the crease. Whether you’re chasing a big score or building an innings, this bat is your go-to companion at the crease. Perfect for players who want to shop a top-value English willow without the top-end price tag.

Built for Power and Control

This Grade 2 cricket bat is designed with a mid-to-low sweet spot, large edges, and a full profile, ideal for stroke players who also want that punch down the ground. Every cleft of willow is hand-selected for grain quality, consistency, and durability, offering professional-level performance at a more affordable price.

Finished with a round handle and a semi-round toe for comfort and control, this bat is built for long innings and aggressive strokeplay. It’s the best deal for players who want premium features without the premium cost.
