Title: Best profile for pick-up
Post by: toby176 on April 05, 2014, 02:51:19 PM
As the name suggests, what do you guys think the best profile for the lightest pick-up is?

That being said, whats the best picking up bat you've ever had or held?

I'm interested as I have a cleft on the way from the lads at Red Ink.

Dynadrive just because everyone who has picked mine up thought it was 3oz lighter than it is.

Mid middle and scoops.

It is a lovely shape. I was going to be making a similar style shape to this for the new model this year but it was beaten (only just) by the fuller profile that we are now offering. Come to think of it I have the higher middled bat to offer up for sale on here as some point.

Totally agree mate.

Personally my best bats in terms of feel in my hands are my Salix retro bat and my GN oblivion e41. Although that was based on picking them up tonight lol maybe another 2 by tomorrow.
