Hi! Iām Len. A cricket-mad dad whoās spent a lifetime chasing the perfect bat. Years ago, I struggled to find a high-quality cricket bat that didnāt cost the earth ā so I decided to make my own.

My hope is that our bats help cricketers of all ages play with confidence, passion, and a smile. And itās not just bats ā Iāve 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 youāre walking out to bat or diving in the field, our equipment is made to help you play your best without breaking the bank.

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....
Outstanding craftsmanship / brilliant service. Outstanding craftsmanship / brilliant service

Really impressed with the quality of the willow and speed of delivery. Quality and speedy service. I ordered a new bat for my boy, really impressed with the quality of the willow and speed of delivery.
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.Ā
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.Ā
However, it's important to note that not all damage is covered under our warranty.Ā
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 considered a great option for club-level and serious amateur cricketers. It offers excellent performance and durability at a more affordable price point than Grade 1 or players' grade willow. With clean grains and great ping, it delivers impressive value for money, ideal for batters who want quality without overspending.
Grade 1 willow typically has straighter, more even grains and fewer blemishes compared to Grade 2. However, Grade 2 still offers superb performance, especially when made by experienced batmakers. The main difference is cosmetic, many Grade 2 bats perform just as well, making them a smart purchase for players who value function over aesthetics.
With proper care, an English willow bat can last several seasons. Grade 2 bats, especially when well-prepared and maintained, offer great longevity. Using bat wax, avoiding wet conditions, and knocking in the bat correctly all help extend its lifespan.
Choosing the right bat comes down to your playing style, weight preference, handle shape, and pick-up. Many players look at the number of grains, balance, and sweet spot. A well-made Grade 2 bat, like our 2lb 12oz short handle with a 2lb 10oz pick-up, is ideal for players who want a high-performing bat without breaking the bank.
Most adult players prefer bats between 2lb 9oz and 2lb 12oz, depending on their build and playing style. This particular bat weighs 2lb 12oz with a 2lb 10oz pick-up, offering the power of a heavier blade with the feel of a lighter one, making it perfect for balanced stroke play.
Designed for adult cricketers who want exceptional value and serious performance, our Grade 2 English Willow Short Handle Cricket Bat is perfect for weekend warriors, club regulars, and anyone looking to upgrade without going all the way to players' grade.
Weighing in at a solid 2lb 12oz with a feather-light pick-up of just 2lb 10oz, this bat combines balance, feel, and power. With straight grains and a full bow profile, it delivers consistent performance and an impressive ping, ideal for those looking to buy a professional-feeling bat at an affordable price. Perfect for anyone wanting more value in their next cricket bat purchase.
This short-handle cricket bat is expertly made from premium Grade 2 English willow, offering you a powerful sweet spot with a stunning ping, the kind that makes bowlers nervous and fielders step back.
The full bow design adds momentum to every shot, while the balanced pick-up enhances your control, letting you play your natural game. Whether you're stepping into league matches or weekend Sunday fixtures, this is the bat that feels like it belongs in your hands. A great choice if you're searching for the best blend of price, performance, and reliability.
It isn't just about looks, although the willow on this one is undeniably handsome for a Grade 2. The full-profile shape, round handle, and balanced weight distribution make this bat a genuine all-rounder. It's suited to front-foot drives, back-foot cuts, and everything in between.
Whether youāre chasing boundaries or rotating strike, this bat will keep up with your playing style. Great for gifting too, especially for birthdays or pre-season surprises. If youāre shopping for someone passionate about cricket, this is a sure-fire win.
At Trogon Cricket, we donāt outsource or mass-produce our products. Every bat, including this one, is handmade in our Sussex workshop using traditional tools and techniques. We hand-select every cleft of English willow and shape each blade with care.
Over the years, weāve served hundreds of cricketers, from grassroots players to semi-professionals, all seeking something different: performance without compromise.
This Grade 2 bat stands out because of how it feels in your hands and plays in the middle. Itās not just about price, though we do offer competitive deals, itās about providing real value. You're getting something thatās been made with heart, and it shows.
