Title: Largest middle
Post by: thedon on November 04, 2009, 06:49:16 PM

Lowish middle, 2lb 9 oz weight, reasonably bowed. With these given specs, what profile would have the largest possible/most forgiving middle?

Which bat on the market today (including custom made companies) would have the above profile?

comments greatly appreciated

I am not sure which 'off the shelf' bats would have that profile off the top of my head.
But you have probably done the smart thing by coming on to this forum! Thats because a custom podshaver would be able to make you a bat from your spec!
There are a number of highly regarded custom makers so it would depend on your location and your budget, and whether you wanted to actually visit the makers workshop to see your bat being made!!

I'd go for a mixed edge shaped bat [lesser edge] with more meat in the hitting area... That will give you the most forgiving middle but also take into account off-centre shots

pics not great but a mix like this

Nice Norbair

I have just ordered a Redback hybrid - mainly Allegiance profile, but some taken off the big edges and added to the hitting area - I reckon its the way to go! Not intending to use the damn edges anyway! ;-)
