Post by: csnew on August 26, 2013, 06:57:43 PM: The guy's already sold a couple of Compton's bats previously, so its not a mistake in the listing

Why?

Post by: procricket on August 26, 2013, 07:51:03 PM: They like a thin handle on the top hand for control I know Compton has mentioned this on gn tv.

I know quite a few indian players do not like twine they like the flex on a handle and being wrists some liked it that way

Why?

A handle with no twine is said to give a 'whippy' feel.

It's all down to personal preference, but it isn't recommended to remove the twine as this weakens the handle.

You just know people on here are going to try it though. ;)
