Basically if members on here could draw their ideal bat profile on paint, or get a picture from somewhere then it would be a good place to see what everyone's preferences are. You could write a bit about the chosen profile, whether it's just the look of the shape that sells it or it suits your style of play more.
For me it would be this

Not a surprise to many but I like old school bats because their balance and pick up ate personally better than the typical Asian style. I may have been lucky in the past but bats of this shape seemed to have a longer, possibly thinner middle but knowing I'm not a six hitting machine where if I mistime it, I'll still get 6, I tend to try and chip it over fielders, middling it meaning less effort for me which is why I prefer more wood in the middle as opposed to a lot of wood spread out.
Apologises for not making much sense, I'm tired and thought a topic of this type may be a good idea is someone could make sense of it.
