When you have finished knocking in bat, you should first progress to using bat for out field practice and then in nets against an old used high quality cricket ball, especially avoid 'bat breaker' cricket balls, you know ones, cheap, hard and usually shiny.

Once you've played bat in for a few hours in nets it'll be ready to take out on to square.

It's a tedious process but well worth time and effort for results you'll get for your hard work. Its worth mentioning that some sports shops may offer a knocking in service for a small fee. Personally I like to do it myself to see how bat progresses as it becomes more knocked in.
