Willow is staggeringly soft when unpressed and when I first hit the cleft it was like hitting damp ground, the mallet just sunk into the bat face.

SAF - Can't say no to a free tip!   pm'd you.

Hit the nail on the head --- you hit enough balls with an unpressed [if it survives] you get a pressed bat

Hey prowannabe, I asked for the low density willow as I would like to order a new bat every season from rob. Can't wait till it arrives.

Norbs 2!

Flattered to be considered in the same breath as Norbs on this forum! We are different beasts, he the enquirying engineer and master craftsmen living and breathing bat making, me the engineer and academic with much less time to devote to bats. When the kiddy winks have grown up a bit and I get some 'home' time back I will most likely dabble in my own workshop with bats and learn some more.  Meanwhile ongoing work with Gunn & Moore keeps me up to speed and in the game!
