Hand-Pick Your Willow Cleft

We send you photos of available willow clefts in your chosen grade. You look at the grain, colour, and profile, and personally select the exact piece of willow that will become your bat. No guessing, no surprises.

We Shape Your Bat and Keep You Updated

Our craftsmen shape your bat to your exact specifications. We send you photos throughout the shaping process so you can see your bat coming to life at every stage.

Machine Knock-In

Every SGM custom bat is machine knocked in as part of the build. This compresses and hardens the bat face properly, saving you hours of preparation and getting your bat match-ready from day one.

Quality and Ping Check

Before your bat leaves our hands, it goes through a full quality inspection and ping test. We send you a video of the ping test so you can hear and see exactly how your bat performs before it is delivered.
