Post by: toenails97 on August 12, 2012, 08:55:52 PM
Hi all,
Is it just me who finds it strange how newberry can create a Asian style bat shape and call it a b52 "bomber" ?
Regards
Tony

May be named B52 bomber as its a powerful bat designed to send the ball flying to the boundary?  ;)

The model names of bats will obviously sometimes be weapon names or something people can link to something destructive - whether that be a gun, plane, or something else that people will want to link to their "detructive batting!" If Newbery released a bat called the Daisy or the Pansy, I suspect that it would be a commercial disaster!
To 99% of people on the forum, this is pretty obvious!!!

Am locking this topic as it's absolutely pointless!
