Trogon points with this purchase
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

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 3 English willow is a great choice for casual or part-time cricketers who want solid performance at a more affordable price. It still offers good ping, decent grain structure, and is ideal for club-level play.
Grade 3 bats typically have around 4 to 6 grains. These grains may be slightly wider or less straight than premium grades, but they still deliver excellent value and plenty of power for mid-level or recreational use.
That depends on your style of play, but many players opt for something between 2lb 8oz and 2lb 11oz. Our Grade 3 bat weighs 2lb 11oz but feels closer to 2lb 9oz thanks to its clever balance and light pick-up, perfect for stroke-makers and part-time players.
English willow is grown in the UK and prized for its superior grain quality and performance. The hand-selecting, seasoning, and bat-making process is labour-intensive, which contributes to the cost. Grade 3 bats offer a more affordable entry point without compromising too much on performance.
Yes, many bats improve as they’re used and properly knocked-in. The fibres settle, the sweet spot opens up, and the ping often improves, especially with English willow. A Grade 3 bat that's well-maintained can serve you well over multiple seasons.
If you're a part-time player who still wants to feel confident at the crease, our Grade 3 English Willow Cricket Bat weighing 2lb 11oz is the perfect choice. With a cleverly balanced design that feels closer to 2lb 9oz in your hands, it provides the lightweight pick-up you'd expect from a premium bat, without the hefty price tag.
Ideal for weekend warriors, club cricketers, or players just getting back into the game, this bat offers fantastic value and dependable performance. With a large sweet spot and standout ping, it’s perfect for players looking to make the most of their time in the middle.
Made from durable Grade 3 English willow, this bat has been expertly shaped to give you that premium "pick-up" feel while still packing plenty of power. The massive edges and imposing profile give you extra confidence when facing pace or spin, and the generous sweet spot helps you find your timing quickly. Whether you're stepping out for a net session or lining up for your next Sunday league match, this bat makes it easier to play your shots and enjoy your cricket.
This cricket bat is a brilliant option for those seeking affordability without compromising on feel or aesthetics. With a slightly higher weight balanced to feel lighter, it’s easy on the hands and satisfying through the ball. Whether it’s a gift for a returning player, a spare match-day bat, or your main stick for the season, it's impressive performance-to-price ratio makes it a top seller.
Plus, our competitive price and seasonal deals mean you can shop with confidence and get a brilliant bat at an even better price.
At Trogon Cricket, every bat we make is carefully hand-finished by our bat makers in Sussex using traditional methods and tools.
