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.

    Ben Saunders ★★★★★ (Verified Purchase)

  • 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!

    Joe Maskell ★★★★★ (Verified Purchase)

  • 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!

Trogon Cricket Value for Money

Premium english willow from Trogon cricket

When you choose a Trogon cricket bat, you’re choosing premium English willow carefully picked for its outstanding grains and performance. Every piece is shaped by hand to unlock maximum power and control, so whether you’re playing club cricket or chasing bigger goals, our cricket bats give you the advantage from the very first ball.

Lightweight Pick-ups

At Trogon, we know that weight, balance, and pick up are the three things that make the biggest difference when choosing a cricket bat, which is why every single cricket bat we make is designed with these in mind. A cricket bat that feels too heavy can slow your shots down, while one that’s too light won’t give you the power you need. That’s why we focus on creating the perfect balance, so your Trogon cricket bat feels comfortable in the hands and ready for every shot, whether you’re driving through the covers or pulling off the back foot. The real difference comes in the pick up. With a Trogon, you’ll feel like the bat is lighter than the scales suggest, giving you quick reactions, better timing, and more freedom at the crease. If you want a cricket bat that combines power, control, and confidence from the very first ball, a Trogon bat is built to deliver exactly that.

Premium English Willow

Trogon cricket bats are built to offer outstanding value for money because you’re not just paying for a piece of willow, you’re investing in performance, durability, and craftsmanship. Every Trogon cricket bat is handmade from carefully selected English willow, giving you the same attention to detail and quality finish you’d expect from far more expensive brands, without the inflated price tag. We keep our process simple: premium materials, traditional bat-making methods, and direct-to-player pricing. That means more of your money goes into the cricket bat itself, not flashy marketing campaigns or middlemen. With excellent ping, long-lasting performance, and the right balance to suit your game, a Trogon cricket bat gives you everything you need to perform at your best, while still leaving more in your pocket.

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 considered a very good option for club-level and competitive players. It often has a clean grain structure with minor blemishes that don’t affect performance. It provides a great balance of affordability and playability, making it a popular choice for serious cricketers.

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

Grade 1 willow is the top tier, typically featuring straight, even grains and minimal markings. Grade 2 willow may have slightly more grain variation or cosmetic imperfections but still offers excellent performance. Both are made from the same English willow trees, with Grade 2 providing better value for money for most players.

Why is English willow so expensive?

English willow is grown in limited regions and requires careful harvesting, seasoning, and handcrafting. Each cleft is unique and takes time to shape, dry, and press correctly. The high demand and skilled labour involved in making quality bats contribute to the higher cost compared to other materials like Kashmir willow.

What weight cricket bat should I use?

Choosing the right weight depends on your strength, style, and level of play. This particular bat weighs 2lb 13oz but feels more like 2lb 10oz due to its expertly balanced pick-up. Players looking for fast hands and quick reactions will appreciate the lighter feel, even in a heavier bat.

Is a heavier bat better for hitting sixes?

While heavier bats can generate more power, it’s the balance and timing that really matter. This bat combines a substantial 2lb 13oz weight with a light pick-up, offering the best of both worlds, power through the middle and fast bat speed for aggressive stroke play.

Grade 2 English Willow Cricket Bat with Light Pick-Up

Grade 2 Cricket Bats for Confident Batters

Designed for serious club players and ambitious cricketers, this Grade 2 English willow cricket bat, weighing 2lb 13oz, offers the performance of a much lighter bat thanks to its beautifully balanced profile and incredibly light pick-up.

Made for players who value both power and precision, this bat is perfect for long innings, quick singles, and powerful boundary shots over the infield.

Whether you're looking to step up your game or buy a reliable match bat at a competitive price, this one offers exceptional value.

Perfect for competitive Saturday cricket or serious net sessions.
