Another good step in the right direction as we need much innovation in handle shape and design. Current style of bat handles are poop! Atleast, these guys are starting a conversation.

Putting shape aside, the bat handles need grooving or ridges to assist the gripping of the handles. I think cricket bat handle should be two handles in one - different shape with ridges/grooves for the bottom hand v/s a more oval/oblong, telescoping shape for the top hand.

Just holding my hands in that position feels right. I'd like to try it but not for that much cash.

Wasnt this done years ago? I'm thinking nearly 30 or so years? I remember seeing one in lilywhites. It was slightly more pronounced curve than this, and iirc was named after an animal...
