Title: The Heartwood Topic
Post by: Coach on September 25, 2009, 08:07:12 PM
Sounds like just another topic but i have heard that Heartwood should be on the inside edge? Any reason for this? Are there any PROVEN! Benifits of Heartwood?

It should be in the outside edge, because it is more brittle and good players hit the inside edge more than the outside edge.

I take that as a compliment mike, seeing as both my bats have tiny cracks on the inside edge !
