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.

FAQs

1. What size cricket bat does my child need based on their age and height? +
The correct bat size depends on both height and age. For example, a 7-year-old who is around 4ft tall will usually suit a size 3 bat, while a 12-year-old at 5ft 2in would need a Harrow. Always use height as the first guide, as children grow at different rates.
2. What happens if the bat is too big or too small? +
A bat that is too big feels heavy, encourages poor technique, and can slow down a child’s shot-making. A bat that is too small reduces reach and power. The right size helps them play with comfort, confidence, and better control.
3. Is it better to buy a bat my child can ‘grow into’? +
It’s tempting to buy a bigger bat to last longer, but this often harms development. Junior players should have a bat that suits them now, not one that will fit in a year. Lightweight and correctly sized bats are the best investment in your child’s cricket.
4. Does the weight of the bat matter as much as the size? +
Yes. Even if the size is correct, a bat that is too heavy makes it difficult for juniors to play their shots properly. Look for a balance between the right size and a comfortable pick-up weight.
5. Are there differences between boys’ and girls’ junior bats? +
No, there are no differences between boys’ and girls’ junior bats. The same size chart applies to all junior players. What really matters is choosing the correct size and weight for the child’s height and strength, regardless of gender.

    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

Hand applying a 'Trogon Cricket' brand label to a English willow cricket bat.

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, Size 5 English Willow Cricket Bat FAQs


What age is a size 5 cricket bat for?

A size 5 cricket bat is generally recommended for players aged around 9 to 11 years old, or those between approximately 4.92ft and 5.15ft tall. It's a common choice for juniors starting to develop proper technique and play more competitive matches.

How to tell if a cricket bat is too heavy?

If your child struggles to lift the bat easily or their backlift feels restricted, the bat may be too heavy. A bat should feel comfortable in their hands, allowing them to play a full range of shots without strain.

How to choose the correct bat size?

To choose the correct bat size, stand the bat vertically beside the child. The top of the handle should ideally reach their hip or waist. Comfort, control, and weight are just as important as the size itself.

Which bat size is best?

The best bat size depends on the player’s height, age, and strength. For juniors between 4.92ft and 5.15ft, size 5 is generally the ideal option, balancing reach and control to support proper shot-making.

What makes a Grade 2 English willow bat good for juniors?

Grade 2 English willow bats offer a great balance between quality and affordability. They typically have fewer blemishes than lower grades but still provide excellent ping and durability, making them perfect for junior cricketers ready to take the next step in their development.

Cricket Bats for Junior Cricketers

Whether your child is playing their first season of hardball or pushing for a spot in the team’s top order, this bat helps them stand tall at the crease.

Beautiful Design with Lightweight Performance

This junior cricket bat features a large profile and excellent ping, giving young players the confidence to play their shots all around the ground, from front-foot drives to back-foot nurdles around the corner. Each piece is made from hand-selected Grade 2 English willow, giving a fantastic balance between quality and price. The shape has been carefully designed to ensure a lightweight pick-up without sacrificing the power junior players need. It’s a wise investment for parents looking to buy a bat that delivers game-day performance and long-lasting value.
