One question I have always wondered is, when we pay extra from a maker to have our bat knocked in for us how much time do they actually spend doing it? I can't really imagine any maker having the facilities or the time to be able to knock in so many bats by hand properly. Is it money well spent or are we better off saving the money and doing it ourselves? I appreciate this will differ from maker to maker but it's still something that interests me....
[Erm very little] has been my (limited) experience. I had a pre-prepared M&H further knocked in at my local sports shop, and no way was it done for as much as what I'd like.
To that extent I've always preffered the idea of a machine knocking a bat in. What sort of nutter is willing to knock a bat in for the recommended howevermany hours for £30?! At least with a machine you know it's been worked on for a long time consistently.
Didn't someone on here have an idea of using a chisel function on a drill to knock a bat in
? One of my mind-wandering thoughts is based on possible knocking in automations (like the chisel function on a drill), though haven't as yet come up with anything!
I do appreciate the more modern distinction appear in bat descriptions now which admits "knocked in" does not (at all) mean fully ready to play
