I have a new idea for a scientific performance test involving a leaf blower, the side of a shed, some flexible tube and a few cricket bats and balls....

Post by: uknsaunders on September 27, 2012, 10:04:38 AM: before anybody gets excited both bats are 2'12 plus and will have big and wide middles. Maybe a better test would be 2 very light bats where edge and middle size had a greater influence on performance.

Simmy, which one picks up better?

in my experience i have found bats with high spines to pick up better......
Title: Re: Smoke, mirrors and big edges
Post by: Simmy on September 28, 2012, 09:50:00 AM: you would be suprised mate both bats pick up very well for the weight.

id say the high spined one picked up better, but i preffered the other one as i like a bottom heavy bat. whats why johnny now owns the big spine one
Title: Re: Smoke, mirrors and big edges
Post by: Ryan on September 28, 2012, 10:10:00 AM: i agree, the one with the high spine picked up better.

p.s. love your bats too Andy! :D
