• Though quinergys bats are stroked and ready to use, we strongly recommend the players to stroke the bat for one week atleast for 15min/day. The edges and toe of the blade require particular attention using glancing blows off the face to harden and round these areas. Particular care and attention should be made not to hit the edges, toe or back of the bat directly as this will cause damage.
• The knocking in should be performed with gradual increasing force, but never too hard to cause damage, if seam marks and indentations occur further knocking in is required.
• Step by step guide to knocking in, apply raw linseed oil to the face, edges and back of the bat evenly, 2 to 3 teaspoons of oil is the correct amount. Whilst oiling take care not to oil the splice (where the handle fits into the blade),handle or labelled areas, also take great care not to over oil the bat as this will deaden the fibres of the timber and affect performance.
• leave the bat horizontal and face up to dry for 24 hours, if you are planning to use the bat in its natural state, without an anti scuff sheet, then repeat steps 1 and 2 twice more. If you are planning to have a protective anti scuff sheet fitted then one initial coat of oil is sufficient. wipe off any excess oil and knock in your bat with a specialist bat mallet for approximately 4 hours.
