I went to Gerard's workshop in Officer to buy my bat. The experience has been so positive, Gerard is extremely passionate about cricket,I appreciated him giving me extra time to properly explain how to take care of my bat. I would have spent about 45 minutes properly understanding bats, figuring out the best one for me and Gerard helped me through everything. Waiting to play with my bat this season, definitely see myself being SGM's lifelong customer.

Amazing service! I had a handmade bat made for my daughter and the quality was so nice. The bat was nicely made and she really loves it. I also got few other bats cleaned and repaired and they came back looking good as new. Very recommended !!

Good quality of work. Love my cricket bat when I got it knocked from this place. Had I not bought a cricket bat elsewhere, I would have bought it from him. Great experience.

I had an excellent experience with SGM Cricket Bats. The service was professional, friendly, and genuinely focused on finding the right bat for my needs. The quality of the bat is outstanding, with fantastic balance, pickup, and ping.

Mr.GERARD took the time to explain everything and made sure I was completely happy with my choice. It’s clear he takes pride in his craftsmanship and customer service.

I highly recommend SGM Cricket Bats to anyone looking for a high-quality English willow bat or expert advice. I’ll definitely be coming back for my next bat. Thank you for such a great experience!

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 English Willow Cricket Bat | Buy Melbourne

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.
