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

My daughter is well impressed and can't wait to use it. Fantastic bat. Fantastic craftmanship and fantastic service. My daughter is well impressed and can't wait to use it. 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you’re a confident club cricketer or an up-and-coming player who values balance and performance, our Grade 2 English Willow Cricket Bat weighing 2lb 12oz is made for you. With a full profile, this bat picks up closer to 2lb 9oz, offering a surprisingly light feel in the hands.
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.
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.
Whether you're gearing up for a new season or upgrading your match-day kit, this bat is ready to go from the first ball. Add a toe guard and anti-scuff sheet if you prefer, or browse our range of protective cricket bat accessories for added peace of mind. Looking for a gift for a dedicated cricketer?
This bat is a standout choice for birthdays or milestones. It's a serious bit of kit for players who love the game.
At Trogon Cricket, every bat is handmade in our Sussex workshop using traditional tools and techniques. We never outsource. From juniors to professionals, our customers know they’re buying cricket bats that are carefully made and performance-tested.
Our Grade 2 willow bats strike the perfect balance between quality and price, giving you a reliable, match-winning cricket bat at a cost that makes sense and doesn't break the bank.
