Bat Care:

The majority of Kookaburra cricket bats sold world wide have been “Pre-Prepared” (or KPP). This process is done by hand, not machine, and greatly reduces the time needed to prepare your bat for match play.
Please note that this is not a full ‘knocking in’ service and a minimum of an additional six hours preparation work by yourself is required after purchase and prior to a match so that you can maximise the performance and longevity of your bat.

Oiling:

All natural faced bats must be treated using raw linseed or a specialist cricket bat oil. The main purpose of oiling is to maintain moisture levels within the blade, and hence reduce the chances of cracking and splitting. However, you should be wary of over oiling your bat as this can be as damaging as applying too little oil! Light coats should be applied to the face, edge, toe and back of the blade - taking care to avoid the stickers or logos and the splice area. Allow the bat to dry.
After 24 hours remove any oil that has not be absorbed. Using a very fine sand paper (+180), give the face of the bat a light sanding and then reapply a light coat of oil to the face only.
