New style of bat
« on: March 22, 2010, 06:50:44 PM »

Hello,
Whilst in maths I had an Idea, whether it is decent or not. I was sat reading AOC and mongoose was in there and I thought what about shorter handle and longer blade with more meat :/
Let me know the thoughts
Cheers x

Well you need a handle big enough for your grip and a longer blade would mean thinner profile to retain same weight.

Pick up would be very bad, not enough weight at the top to counter balance the wood on the bat.

Ha, generally those ideas always seem ground breaking! As they are more interesting than what you're supposed to be doing!

fairly similar to super short handle idea, yes? pick up isn't very good, unless you weighted the handle, and i doubt that's legal to be honest ! haha
