Title: Michael Clarke's Bat
Post by: InternalTraining on October 18, 2014, 04:29:49 PM: Folks,

I am curious about Michael Clarke's bat. How much does it weigh? Who really makes it?

Any info? Thanks.

It makes sense that Finch uses a bowed bat, he plays aerial shots.

I might be wrong, but a bat bows naturally through use too, no?

Finch bat is not that bowed the version in the shop is the sample which i have to admit i have the original is not so but as somebody says the bowing does occur naturally if you hit the ball as many time in the middle as he does..
