I always thought they were illegal and banned, guess I was wrong. Have a look at Neil Wagner's top bat;



Any guesses on second one?

From the sticker on the handle of the 2nd one he popped into SportsDirect on the way to training!

Why would they be illegal.

de Villiers used to have one like this

Why would they be illegal.

As they enhance performance (apparently).

As they enhance performance (apparently).

plenty of things enhance the performance without being illegal 

[praguetaz]

what's the difference between 3 sprung and 2 sprung handles in terms of performance?

[Colesy]

Stiffer handle therefore more energy transferred into the shot. Apparently.

[Tom]

The main law on handles is that 10% other materials one, which a 2 spring handle with less rubber than a 3 spring would definitely not contravene.

[tim2000s]

The key law on handles its what Tom has described. The key difference worth number of springs its stiffness and comfort.

Surely that could just be a stock bat that slaz sent him instead of assuming its sports direct?  all the sports directs on the south coast all have kashmir slaz bats
