Nowt gets past the forum for long !!

Like the shape, sort of a bit old school but with the thick edges of modern bats.

Looks like another winner shape wise.

Thumbs up and a great offer from Matt and Adam to let us try them out at the CBF nets on Sunday.

Cam has always wanted to do a proper you tube review haha.   :)

What's not to  like, long long and wide middle, will ping all over, reminds me of the b3 trott-1271 bat.

It probably won't sell well, as mace shows, the public are still massive edge obsessed.

Hello Smilley It's Not An Obsession, It's A Preference. Some People Prefer Lighter Bats With Smaller Thinner Edges. I Like My Bats With Big Edges And Heavy, As Soon As I Could Afford It I Have Always Had My Bats Made With Thick Edges And Very Heavy 3lbs+ For Nearly 16 years. Anything Lighter Feels Like A Toothpick On Pick Up. The Trend I Have Noticed Recently Now Is For Thinner Lighter Bats With A Longer Wider Sweet Spots. Which Is Exactly What The Hell4leather fifty50 Provides. I Like Hell4leather And I Had To Ask The Question Because "Big" Is My Preferred Profile.

I'd imagine its something to do with being a quite traditional shape with a modern twist. Possibly 50% of each?

You Are Absolutely Right And It's A Lovely Bat. But GN Have Only Released The David Warner Big Profile In Aussie This Year{Those Fearful U.K Custom Charges} The U.K Version Is Smaller From What I Can Tell. Plus This Profile Has Been Around For A While And GN Are Only Just Releasing It Officially For The Coming Season? A Bit Slow.

Depending on how long you have been playing(!!) they are still pretty thick edges...

Maybe the trend will go slightly smaller in anticipation of some new regs coming in?

I've got a pretty big edged bat now and I'll be honest I quite like it. However the edges are the weak point.

We def seem to be moved away from huge concaving back to more full profiles....
Title: Re: Fifty50
Post by: edge on October 19, 2016, 09:45:25 PM
Don't really see the need for edges a lot bigger than these anyway tbf, never seems to make the ball go further off them when I use a big edged bat! Realised I may have given the wrong impression as I quite like the look of this profile, just seems an odd choice of name. Would love to see some better profile shots and hear of there's any different reasoning behind the name.

Expect youre right about smaller bats, I'm sure we'll see plenty of new shapes marketed for 'coverage' or 'extra long middle' etc in the near future. Imagine most batmakers arent sure whether to shake their head or breathe a sigh of relief at big bats getting banned!

Like people have said the 50+ is out for the big bat fans and the XP80 is out with a "smaller" edge but mahoosive spine.

Nothing wrong with this shape but its not really new or head turning (Which is fine).

A few from the photoshoot. Hopefully show the profile. Although slightly more traditional shape, they are not small  ;)
Approx 64mm spine. 32mm edge. 28mm toe. No concaving.
This bat weighs just under 2.10 fully dressed. More photos and will be availble to order on the site soon.
