Knocking in Issues..!!

[LeoRahi]

Hello there everyone. In July I bought a Kookaburra Blade 250 cricket bat But having some problems like -

1. I have knocked in many hours but still I don't feel that it's knocked. Can anyone tell if I can knock my bat now (after 4 months of playing).

2. I want to increase the weight of my bat because when I play strokes my bat jerks even if it's a well timed stroke. I think it's because of the light weight of my bat. What should I do to increase the weight??

3. How can I know that my bat is knocked in??

Thanks in Advance.

check the ping with a cricket ball not a ball mallet and if it goes up high or to a good height then your bat is fully knocked.

checked. When the ball hits in the middle it goes very high and when it hits a lil upside then it doesn't go to that height.

if the grains have started to widen or crack a little than it's fully knocked
