Title: Equal grains important?
Post by: icewolf on April 28, 2015, 05:37:47 PM: Hi guys,

A friend got me a bat, it's M&H international harrow size...it has huge huge edges 44mm, even the toe is 24mm and ball pings like crazy, has 8 straight grains but not equal distance apart, is that a bad sign?

Grains, blemishes etc are merely cosmetic, if it pings well who cares what it looks like?
We do like to over complicate things on here ;)
