Finished the same day. Add knocking in and we'll hold it 1-2 days and let you know when it's ready. We can also ship it to you - free over $500.
Free 30-Day Reshape Guarantee
If your bat doesn't feel quite right once you've used it, we'll adjust the weight free of charge within 30 days of you receiving it. Drop it into the shop at no cost - if you're posting it in, delivery is the only cost.

Before you book
Can I bring someone?
Yes. There's room at the bench for up to 3 people, so bring a parent, partner or a teammate along.
Is this suitable for a junior?
Yes. Juniors build bats sized to them, and it works well with a parent alongside.
What if I don't know what specs I want?
That's the point of the session. Josh will talk you through it from how you bat, not from a spec sheet.
Where are you and where do I park?
JPG HQ, 8 Brodie Street, Rydalmere NSW 2116 - about 30 minutes from the Sydney CBD.
Can I give this as a gift?
Yes. A JPGavan gift card covers the session and the bat, delivered by email on a date you choose with a personal message. Gift cards never expire.
What if I need to change my time?
Your booking confirmation email has everything you need to change your time - find that email and reschedule from there. If you can't find it, call 0447 670 311.
