Most of the ‘pro’ bats we see are complete with the compulsory sharpie but also have an unfinished toe.
Why do these toes not get finished for the pro’s?
-
Unwanted additional weight? It's not like they care if the bat lasts for one full season.

What is an unfinished toe? One without a toe guard?
-
Check the toe on @Canners BG bat for sale. That vs a regular toe you’d expect on a store bat

God that looks crap
Why do they do that?
My favourite bit sanding the toe to see the grains through it
I know I'm gonna bash hell out of it on muddy wickets, but I'd never leave a toe like that

Mat Prier obviously wasn't fussed... :D
-
Only thing i can think of is that toe guards are meant to stick better to a slightly abrasive surface so maybe don't bother sanding to aid with the bonding ?

Matt PriDr? :D
It doesn't look that bat, after a few matches, the toe looks like crap. I don't really care about the toe guard.

I think toe guards are useless. They fall off. My bats do well with a bit of oil applied to the toe. I play on astro-turf and matting pitches so we don't see much damage to the toe unless some git borrows your bat and then rough it up saving a runout. Eeeed-yaaatz!

I have had shoo goo toes for about 25 years . Previously, my dad used to scuff my toe like this to prevent feathering ( im a big tapper/toe basher) because he didnt want to fork out for replacements or repairs . I never asked his reasoning , but it seemed to work .
