The Process
How Your Custom Bat is Built
Bring Your Bat or Give Us Your Specifications
Bring your bat to our store in Melbourne, or call us to make an appointment online. You can use your current bat as a template, or simply give us your preferred specs.
Choose Your Willow Grade
Select from three grades of premium English willow. Performance Grade for maximum power and value, Players Grade for professional-quality feel and durability, or Reserve Edition for the finest hand-selected willow available.
Hand-Pick Your Willow Cleft
We send you photos of available willow clefts in your chosen grade. You 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.
Your Bat is Ready in 3 Weeks
Your completed custom bat is presented and ready for collection or delivery within 3 weeks from the date you selected your willow. Pick up in store or ship Australia-wide.
