Surely it doesn't matter if it's the whole bat or the size of a 20p aslong as you keep hitting that spot lol . No good if u can't find it

What is this sweet spot of which we talk? Also, it's probably 6 by 3, but when I actually go out to bat it feels about 1x1...

Haven't got the faintest idea but I'm having a bat made at the moment and I got the maker to measure the sweet spot on the Hosk's Scat! It seemed in the right place for me when I used it.... :)

I've used two of his Scat's and both have absolutely flown. The one I measured is the one he took to the batoff and that is a lovely, lovely bat. Very traditional profile, Hardly any concaving, thin edges, lowish (i think) middle. Quite a whippy handle. Probably weighs around 2.9/10. It does seem to be a bat/profile that suits a lot of different styled players. Pete's a biffer and I'm a bit of a front foot nudger and the Stig is just pretty awesome all round the wicket and all of us love the thing!

Like someone has said, everything is fine as long as you use the head.
