Yes i knock the edges in at 45 degrees but sometimes the mallet slips and scraps the edge which leaves dents on the flush edge.. I dunno how to scratches are getting on there?/What do you mean by "little scratches and dents"? When knocking in a bat the aim is to dent the edges (when striking on a 45 degree angle with mallet) then round off the whole edge, each time you strike the bat with the mallet, it should leave a little dent.
Whatever you do though, do not strike the edge flush...always at a 45 degree angle.
As long as the bat doesnt crack, it should be fine. Cracking is the main concern, dents and scratches are little imperfections which don't detract from the performance of a bat at all, so you shouldnt worry about them.
What are you saying? Try not to get scratches or dents on the face?? Or do the most knocking in on the face??Nothing on the edges matters anyway. It's the face that you need to concentrate on.
Where did you get your bat? I just get my bats rolled at my local cricket shop, then knock them in with throw downs with old, softer balls.What are you saying? Try not to get scratches or dents on the face?? Or do the most knocking in on the face??
Greg Chappell cricket store in Melbourne City.. I thought if you get it rolled you still have to do 4-6hours.. Or that might be if you get it pressed is it??Where did you get your bat? I just get my bats rolled at my local cricket shop, then knock them in with throw downs with old, softer balls.
I don't actually know to be honest, mine just come all done. I would think it'd only be like 20 bucks though.Greg Chappell cricket store in Melbourne City.. I thought if you get it rolled you still have to do 4-6hours.. Or that might be if you get it pressed is it??
