Custom on-the-spot bat making appointment

YOU DESERVE TO BE TREATED THE SAME WAY A PROFESSIONAL CRICKETER IS

For no extra cost to your custom bat you can come into our Sydney based workshop, discuss and design your perfect cricket bat and even watch it being made by.

90 minute appointment at 8 Brodie Street, Rydalmere in Sydney to watch head bat maker and JPGavan owner Josh Gavan talk through all custom bat options and hand-make your new cricket bat while you wait and watch. Set up a time and come in! You can watch the whole shaping process and take home a perfect brand new bat!

Maximum 3 people in the workshop during an appointment. See our bat grading and pricing here. Our clefts are cut for short handle or small mens. If you’re likely to need a different size we may have to select a cleft and size it correctly before you come in. Just get in touch before your appointment.

Pay a $50 deposit for the custom bat. The deposit will be lost if the appointment is missed or arrival is over 30 minutes late. Reschedule up to 24 hours before the appointment.

If you'd like the bat to also be knocked in this will add a few days to complete. Just leave it with us and collect when ready or we can have it sent to your door.

Please allow the 'add to cart' button below convert to 'schedule your time'.

Full knocking in during a 1 hour session. Drop your bat off and collect it fully machine and hand knocked in, sleeved, oiled and shoe gooed after just 60 minutes.
