BAT CARE, MAINTENANCE AND WARRANTY
BAT CARE,
MAINTENANCE AND WARRANTY
+
OILING Your new CREATURE bat will have two coats of Linseed oil applied. Oiling the bat both protects and moistens the new wood. CREATURE Bat wax will be be used to coat and protect the rest of the exposed willow, to help the bat retain it’s moisture. Bat wax also helps to reject any excess moisture and dirt. Your bat will not need any further oiling before it is match ready, but should be serviced every 12 months, which may include another light coat of Linseed oil. Please be careful not to over oil the bat.
+
KNOCKING IN
Your new CREATURE bat will be knocked in by hand using a specialised bat mallet, with special attention paid to the edges and toe of the bat. This helps to harden and slightly round the edges to protect it from edge shots. However, using a mallet is only the first step to the knocking in process, the rest must be done by you in the nets.
+
MATCH READY
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Before using your new CREATURE bat for match play we recommend using the bat for light net sessions/throw downs with an old cricket ball, start with a slow pace and slowly build up. Should small seam indentations or fine cracks appear, return to knocking in with an old ball, as the blade is not ready yet. Repeat this process until the issue stops occurring.
+
SURFACE CRACKS It is natural for your cricket bat to develop surface cracks during normal usage. Surface cracks may appear more frequently with the age of the bat and is a sign of maturity. This does not affect the performance of your cricket bat and some cracking is expected. We do recommend the use of a facing and or fibreglass tape or liquid super glue which helps reduce surface cracking and increase the longevity of your CREATURE bat. Should you be concerned about surface cracking please feel free to contact us.
+
LIFESPAN OF A CRICKET BAT Being made of natural material there is no definite time frame within which your bat will last. To obtain the maximum life and performance please adhere to the care and preparation instructions. Constantly monitor the blade of your bat, maintain and store it in the CREATURE bat cover especially in moist or wet environments. We highly recommend having a toe guard and facing on your bat as well as getting an annual service.
+
IN CASE OF DAMAGE Should your bat suffer damage please remove it from play straight away and consult CREATURE Cricket or cricket specialist for repair. Damage should be fixed straight away without continuing to play. CREATURE will not be responsible for reimbursement of monies for repairs undertaken without our prior instruction.
+
STORAGE Please ensure you store your bat correctly especially in the offseason. We recommend that you store your bat in a cool, dry area from excessive temperature changes. Your CREATURE bat should not be left in warm areas e.g. in front of heaters, in car boots etc., as this may cause drying out or warping, which can lead to further problems.
+

G1 English Willow 2’9’’ Mid sweet spot #PANGOLINButton -
![]()
Achieving low weight and high performance comes down to 2 things: the quality of the willow and the bat shape. It is easier to achieve lower weights with higher grades of willow. When shaping, the goal is to keep as much willow as possible in the area that is going to impact the ball, so that batters get maximum value their shots. This #custom bat is G1 English willow and is 2’6’’ - with most of the willow kept in the mid and low region to match the cricketer’s technique and slower pitches.

Linseed oil binds the willow fibres together and gives the bat face a more elastic surface, rather than one that will crack on impact. This is why we see cracking and splitting in dry bats that have not been property prepared for the season ahead. If your bat hasn’t been oiled since the last time you played - even if it has had a facing placed - chances are it will need oiling before you go back to the nets. At CREATURE CRICKET, we use our own homemade bat wax on all our new bats and refurbs. It’s made with raw linseed oil and bee’s wax, which we find it is an easier substance to apply and store than pure oil, and also gives the bat a nice finish. If your bat is looking a bit on the dry side or needs a refurb, send us a DM and we will help you out.Button -
