Is there anything special about how he presses a bat
does having a "bow" to the blade make any difference, if so what is that?

The bow of a bat is it always done with a press or is it ever taken of the faceif yes would there be any difference and why.

Best amount of grains which gets a balance between longevity and performance? Cheers.
Also, are his Grade A clefts equivalent to higher marketed clefts from other brands?
Cheers Liam

ask how he grades his clefts........

Yeah good one Mike- is it on performance or looks. Also, could you get pricings of his bats, depending on the grades? Thanks,

A few Questions to ask please.

Can you find out what the process is he uses to knock in his bats( mine was done match ready )and whether he can do it on any bat sent to him?

My brother has a big kahuna that is too heavy for him and hasn't used it so does he do weight reduction on bats? If so what's the cost etc...

Thanks
