Really simple question, why do you round the edges of a bat but not the toe?
-
I actually do round the front edge of the toe and the corners . Same process i use for edges.... finely sand , then boning on bathtub or by using a rolling pin , then knocking in .
I guess i might be one of the only ones though .
-
isnt it something to do with the tapping on the ground that can lead to more feathering if it has been rounded down.
I could be wrong, definitely more qualified people here to explain

Im a heavy tapper , used to get feathering , but i no longer do ever since rounding the front of the toe..... so , at least for me , this is not the case .
-
How long do you guys spend rounding edges? Or does it depend on the bat?
-
i just round edges until i see the sharpness of the edge lessen a bit (to a point where you know knocking in will take care of the rest .... think of trying to achieve what is already on some brands /makes that come with rounded edges 'straight out of the packet').
-
Rounding the edge is done to harden the edge and toe and protect it as part of the knocking in process.
-
Does round the edges include rounding the toe though?
