Makes the Warner look like a junior bat, dear lord!

I think gn have hit th3 nail on the head here. Light ugly as sin bats getting sold for a fortune.

The Warner looks like a piece of drift wood imo

Think I prefer the look of the XP80 more than either of these.

Had my big bat these only 48/49mm edge in a simialr weight it hard to make a bad bat at that weight it really is

Hate to say they do look poor but i bet they go like the clappers and look a good shape but they do look like drift wood.

Good job we do not all just play to look at our bats

Would rather have an ugly goer than a good looking stinker!

I had one of the prettiest B3 crown willow bats you will ever see, it was horrendous. I think a ruler and pencil would turn a lot of bats from bad to good on here.

Maybe its an illusion, but it seems like the shape this year is different to last. The one I bought pictured below, seems to have a more pronounced spine, and also a slightly lower middle, but as I say it may be an illusion from photo to photo.

I think the lower middle on yours is just the angle of the camera looking down
No idea about the edge and spine bit tho, I've never seen one of these in person
