I recently purchased my second cricket bat from SGM, and once again the experience was excellent. The quality of the bats is outstanding, with great balance and finish, and they've performed brilliantly. The process was simple, communication was clear, and every specification i required was met. After being so impressed with my first bat, I had no hesitation buying another. Highly recommend SGM to anyone looking for a quality cricket bat and a hassle-free buying experience.

I recently had a custom-made bat crafted by Gerard and the team at SGM Cricket, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the very beginning, the communication was outstanding. Every step of the process was explained clearly, and my ideas and preferences were always taken into account.

What really impressed me was the ability to choose from a range of English willow clefts, each one carefully selected and explained in detail. This allowed me to pick the exact profile I was after, ensuring the final product was perfectly suited to my style of play. The quality of the willow is exceptional, and the craftsmanship that went into shaping it into a players grade, high-performance bat is second to none.

The bat itself performs brilliantly ,superb balance, ping, excellent pickup and a middle that truly rewards good timing.
On top of the product, the level of professionalism from Gerard and the team at SGM Cricket was outstanding. They turned what could have been a complicated process into an enjoyable and exciting journey.

I can’t recommend SGM Cricket highly enough for anyone looking for a top quality custom bat ,their attention to detail, expertise, and customer service are second to none.

Reserve Edition Players Grade English Willow Cricket Bat

Love the website and easy to shop, range of genuine products

I’ve had my bat from SGM Cricket Bats for just over 2 years now, and it has been an absolute pleasure to use. I love the profile of the bat, especially the large edges that run seamlessly down to the toe. Overall the bat has a generous sweet spot and the aggressive profile provides the power needed for playing my shots yet the pick-up feels incredibly well-balanced, making it one of my favourite bats to use at the crease. Gerard, the owner, not only crafts high-quality bats but also provides excellent services like bat refurbishments and re-handling, which I’ve found super convenient. I would highly recommend SGM Cricket Bats to anyone looking for quality and great service!

We came to Jerry through Lahiru Thirimanna to get a custom made english willow players grade bat. And the bat we got was amazing. It was perfect for my son. It had great balance, the weight was perfect and the bat pings so much. Much appreciated by Jerry and we 100% recommend him to make a custom bat or even repair it. Will definitely come again.

I’ve been getting my bats maintained by Gerry for the past couple of years, and I can confidently say he’s truly passionate about what he does. He doesn’t just fix bats, he goes the extra mile by offering valuable tips on how to properly care for them. Always reliable, great with communication, and consistently delivers beyond expectations. I highly recommend not only his bat services but also his range of cricket gear. Gerry isn’t just your average bat seller, he offers quality products at affordable prices and genuinely cares about the game.
