Title: Forum trend or something behind it
Post by: procricket on March 25, 2011, 09:23:50 PM

Right had a good look at a Instinct and seen some rather nice H4l and seen a few others may i ask is it a trend in bats or is there a performance reason why toes are not finished as i call it.

the spine going down to the toe mate i seen it on the forum and in a few other bats just wondering why

your profile has it and a few others

Just wondering why it has become popular well on the forum brands and i see a few gm doing it as well

does it make the middle longer or something just wondering why

Bat design and Fact Bristol tracks are in general slow and low led me towards selecting this profile of bat. More meat behind the toe of the ants as a Bristol born brand had a particular issue with the toes on their bats breaking as an area of weakness

Not sure it's a huge issue. Bit more wood when digging out a yorker!

Low middles are the way to go the more wood the better I say

Have to agree there roco, I can't say I've seen many bats outside the forum where the spine continues all the way down to the spine....

Maybe were just lucky
