My new thruxton player
« on: January 14, 2014, 08:35:01 PM »
Hey guys,

First time poster! After a long illness I'm getting back into cricket again, and have bought some new equipment for the coming season, including my newbery thruxton player which I'm loving so far.

My question is I know I need to knock it in for several hours but want to know if it needs oiled etc also, if so will probably send away and get several preparation things done at once.


Thanks guys, Alex.

Does it have a hammer edge sheet fitted?

If yes, just knock the edges.

Thanks for the swift reply!

Yes it does have the hammer edge sheet. So knocking on its own ok?

Couple of mins/hrs knocking in the toe and edges then onto some throw downs or bowling machine should do.

Alexarmitage, we at IJC would advise a couple, maybe three hours knocking in, mostly on the toe and edges, ensuring that the edges are rounded off nicely. For full explanation of this please look at the following YouTube video we did on the subject.

How to Knock In Your Cricket Bat - Part 2 of 2: The Knocking-In Process


Alternatively, if you wish for us to do this, we can take care of all your preparation needs. The knocking in service is £17.50 + return postage, and we can add toe guards, grips etc at the same time for a little extra.

Thanks, and hopefully she's got plenty of runs in her!

I'd also oil any exposed wood a couple times, not as much is needed as if you were doing the face but just enough to protect the willow

Thanks guys,

And Chris I think I kith phone ijc and get a professional job done on it.

Sorry about photos but I'm on my iPad, might borrow a mates laptop and upload some pictures, but is deffo a great bat for the money. I believe the place I bought it from has finished stock as the five star and players were on sale but they still have the beauty of the sps.

Hey guys,

Managed to figure out how to upload photos using the iPad.

My thruxton is at IJC being knocked In, and in the meantime I bought another players as I love the response from my first one!

Just got it five mins ago and here are some photos before it's send to IJC also.

It's not the prettiest bat but for the price I got it also I am not complaining!!

Hi Alex, that's very grainy for a Player grade! I have seen worse looking SPS bats from Newbery...

The back isn't as attractive, but who cares?! Looking forward to knocking this one in!  :)
