Title: Slight size variance
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on August 09, 2016, 11:26:23 PM: Storm in a teacup time!

While photographing 4 bats, I noticed they all differ slightly in size.
They're all the same brand and are all short handle, which got me thinking. Are short handle bats all the save size in theory, with the apparent difference down to different degrees of bow in the blade, handle set etc. or are they made to "about the right size"

The Reflex (my current weapon of choice) is M&H Made and the "smallest" of the lot.
I'm not sure who made the Aura 650 but it is the biggest of the lot (blade length wise) by a couple of mm

The two made by Tony are the indeed the same size.

Does it matter? Not in the slightest.
Do sad muppets like me find this kind of thing interesting? Of course I do!

One of my testicles is noticeably bigger than the other, but it doesn't effect my performance with the ladies!

I'm not actually worried, I just thought it was interesting (which does make me sad)

~~And out of interest, is it the left or right one?~~

Curious, usually the left testicle is larger in humans ;)

Strange, my middle one is considerably larger than the left or right one...

Do you tend to find yourself turning right more often Bruce?

Testicle alert: Nice and symmetrical.

Biology degree and a housemate, who had a partially exploded testicle following a stamp playing rugby, being talked through the prosthetic options available.
