I've got to know Streaky quite well over the past 12 months or so. I've just dropped him a line to confirm and he replied...

'We were talking about face profile – so we cut the face to the same dimension as the press roller. Bow is completely different – all pressed in!'

It was Streaky who was telling me about the weakening of the blade by cutting the bow in.

GM video clearly shows the bow is cut in and then pressed. streaky himself showing it off! unless hes changed his mind and B3 now do it differently

It's seems I was wrong about the bow and b3 cutting it in.

Was stood next to streaky when I asked and then replied. But he now says he thought I was talking about something else.

I better go back to college and re do English, as I seem to have lost the grasp of asking a question. Oh well, Atleast we now know.

Profile cut in, bow is not.

Hi - for what its worth when I was at Salix earlier in the year Andrew K showed me how they cut the bow in to the bat before pressing - I think he said they were one of the few firms that did it.
