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.

About This Trogon Cricket Bat

  • Made in West Sussex – Every Trogon Cricket bat is handmade in our dedicated workshop in West Sussex. We use traditional bat-making tools and methods to shape and finish each bat, ensuring attention to detail and consistent quality. This local approach allows us to oversee the entire process, from cleft to finish, and produce bats that meet the high standards expected by cricketers at every level.
  • English Willow Only – All Trogon bats are made exclusively from English willow, the finest wood for performance cricket bats. Known for its perfect balance of strength and responsiveness, English willow provides the ideal combination of power and feel at the crease. We source our clefts carefully to ensure each bat delivers the crisp ping and reliable durability expected by players who rely on their gear match after match.
  • Each Bat is Unique – No two Trogon bats are the same. Every cleft of willow has its own natural characteristics.

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 3 English Willow Cricket Bat FAQs


Is Grade 3 English willow good?

Yes, Grade 3 English willow is a great choice for beginner and intermediate players. It offers excellent performance and durability at a more accessible price point, making it ideal for those who want quality without the premium cost.

What makes English willow better than Kashmir willow?

English willow is softer and more responsive than Kashmir willow, offering superior ping and feel off the bat face. It's the preferred choice for players who want performance, even at entry-level grades, which is why our Grade 3 English willow bat delivers such excellent value for adult beginners.

Which weight is best for an English willow bat?

The best weight depends on player preference and strength. For many adult beginners, a bat weighing around 2lb 10oz to 2lb 12oz, like this one, is ideal. It provides control without sacrificing hitting power.

Do cricket bats get better with age?

Yes, with proper knocking-in and regular maintenance, English willow bats tend to improve as the fibres settle and compress. Over time, the bat offers better rebound and a more responsive feel.

How long do English willow bats last?

With proper care and regular maintenance, English willow bats can last several seasons. Using bat wax, toe guards, and protective covers will help extend their life and maintain performance.
