Title: What cleft would you choose
Post by: RoCo Da Pixie on June 21, 2013, 03:00:07 PM: I have been given the following three options for a cleft to be made for a bat that my girlfriend has kindly offered to buy as a birthday gift. I have already decided which one I would want. So I thought it would be interesting to see your choices.

I am a RH bat

Post by: e4sby on June 21, 2013, 03:08:08 PM: Middle for me too - not a great fan of heartwood. It's all down to personnel preference at the end of the day

Post by: Buzz on June 21, 2013, 04:11:28 PM: right... but I am terrible at choosing cleats!

Post by: tushar sehgal on June 21, 2013, 04:23:19 PM: I like more grains but in this case I would say the one the left simply because the grains on that one have a greyish hue to them (more than the others) which i read somewhere a while back was a good thing in terms of performance. Now i can't proove that its correct assessment but for some reason that has stuck with me.

Title: Re: What cleft would you choose
Post by: ajm90 on June 21, 2013, 04:36:31 PM: right because my best bat ever looked like that :)
Title: Re: What cleft would you choose
Post by: sgcricket on June 21, 2013, 05:29:24 PM: the one on the right
Title: Re: What cleft would you choose
Post by: m.lalli on June 21, 2013, 05:48:10 PM: The one on the right for me
Title: Re: What cleft would you choose
Post by: sfa82 on June 21, 2013, 06:22:30 PM: I would go for the first one (left). Really want to try a bat with a bit of heartwood.
Title: Re: What cleft would you choose
Post by: procricket on June 21, 2013, 06:25:00 PM: middle one
Title: Re: What cleft would you choose
Post by: Ryan on June 21, 2013, 06:29:34 PM: Right one for me. Mainly due to that false growth on the middle one.
Title: Re: What cleft would you choose
Post by: fasteddie on June 21, 2013, 06:41:06 PM: Right for me.
Title: Re: What cleft would you choose
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on June 21, 2013, 07:10:03 PM: Middle one probably because of the little blemishes, personally love them on a bat.
Like the look of the left one too though
Title: Re: What cleft would you choose
Post by: praguetaz on June 21, 2013, 07:21:33 PM: 1. left with the heartwood although would prefer it on outer edge for a right hander - grains look just that bit nicer than the other 2 imo
2. middle
3 right
