Title: To concave, or not to concave
Post by: Canners on December 29, 2010, 10:29:28 PM

Whats everyones thoughts on Concaving?

i can see its good points if you consistently hit the ball out of the dead centre......

do most people choose a bat with or without concaving??????

i think i prefer my bats with as little concaving as poss and would rather a nice big spine than huge edges......

i always have a little con caving on my bats , not sure why just always liked having it :)

i don't think that it makes me play any better/worse but that's what im comfortable with i suppose

I'm with norbs on this one. It's trendy but not really necessary as you can achieve the same without it....

Look in one of his ask the batmaker threads.

I think if bat is pressed nicely then moderate concaving should be there for good balance and speed.

Not bothered at all as long as:
(1) the handle is the way I like it,
(2) the pick-up is good, and
(3) Middle taps up fine
