So with a few more handle innovations coming forward, how much difference do you think they'll make?

Have you already registered interested in the Slaz or Laver tech? and do you think any of these will yield real world improvements?

Can a handle allow the bat to do all the work and the player to simply time the shot?

well we are working on a few diffent handles as we think they can make a diffence

Tbh I don't think they are gonna make a difference none of these gimmicks will in my opinion

Yes, handle variation can make a difference. The original c6 handle is proof of this. With the current restrictions about what you can do, I have my reservations as to just how much difference they will really make to the average player.

The handle plays a massive part in the performance of a bat...

But I am sure Marcus will tell us his findings

You don't really need to do much digging to know this. The reason the separate handle became popular was that it reduced vibration to the hands. The addition of springs took it further. Just on this basis, "doing stuff with the handle" will have to have some effect!

No findings, I don't have either of the new handles.

I have as always my opinions but was interested to hear other people's.

Hearsay has it that you have a new design up your sleeve?

But then again it is only hearsay

And a man of you calibre knows that hearsay is often without foundation.

You know as well as i do, not to believe everything you hear.

all sounds a bit pure and simple to me.

[Colesy]

I see what you did there!
