Id go with cork as rubber would be heavy....hard to tell though as the pic isnt very big

looks like a honeycomb material (like the hunts county modulus). I've seen the middle cut out before, but never with a material behind the laminated area.........would this improve performance???

 This is what was quoted on the website:

"The "Flat Bat" for TWENTY20 cricket. Ian had perfected a laminating process to secure a lightweight insert that gave the bat tremendous rebound qualities. Fortunately for bowlers and fieldsman the MCC changed the laws of cricket and production ceased."

It reminds me of the baseball bats that they "load up" with superballs
