Distinction profile of my BB. I love it!

Something very similar to the Mjolnar but on a Warsop bat.
Thin edges, long middle, and a superb balance.
Oh, and good enough for a 'hat!' to score a few with!

I think it will vary from individual to individual. I suspect the extended spine profiles or balance profiles would come out on top. Low/high middles tend to be a more personal thing, as does big/small edge or convex/concave. I love my GM Icon+ profile as it have a little bit of everything. Not to concaved, not too big on the edges, decent spine and a long middle (+ models from GM tend to have more wood than a standard Icon).

i really dont think this is a question that can be answered by a group. hasnt everyone got a personal preference?
You might find in England the general consensus would be something with a mid to low middle because of slow tracks. What confuses me is how someone playing on English wickets (especially last season) could use something like a Newbery GT

I have played for the last 6 years with a GT shaped bat, no problems whatsoever. And I play on horrible Scottish wickets for the most part. I think it's more in the head, people adapt to use a shape rather than get on better with one over the other.
Unless its extreme cases, such as astroturfs that basically roll!
-
Amplus shape for me, with slight offset edges, bowed face. Thing of beauty.
But agreed no 2 people will have the same opinion.
-
I quite like the legend profile, but happy with anything that has a mid middle.

I don't agree. I play on a very slow wicket and the ball still bounces above a low middle position a lot of the time. I middle the ball far more often now I've moved to a higher middle bat.

My favourite profile aesthetically is the Laver Heritage I own. My best to use is both my Hades and Instinct, which have the middle roughly six to eight inches above the toe, and also a dent at that spot where I regularly hit the ball...
-
I prefer a mid to high middle. I think you'll be surprised at how many people use higher middled bats in the UK.
-
Best bat I've ever owned is a Chase 150 Finback, was the lowest grade but went like a train!
It's taken a couple of seasons to open up but my 175 Beluga is going wonderfully now (two totally different profiles I know)

Your reaction makes me chuckle... The best bat profile for me doesn't seem to really make a difference. The point on the bat where I hit it most frequently (judging by the dent at that point) is about 6-7 inches up from the toe... That's where I need most of the middle to be!
