Title: Niall o'brien Dropped Shoulder Bat
Post by: TBONTB on February 19, 2015, 07:57:39 PM

I was just watching the hi lights of the win over WI and I saw that he is using a bat with a cut off shoulder, only on one side. It looks like its there so he can get his hands through the shot, but I must say I have never seen it before!

Look at that!

Hi mate I play in the same club as Kevin and Niall O'Brien over in Ireland so I know the two of them quite well particularly Kevin as he's around a lot of the time but I've talked to Niall about this before as a few lads have his bats around the club and he cuts off the shoulder primarily to avoid inside edges.
