Apologies if this has been asked before. GM as we know CNC the bats and as we know clefts vary an awful lot in weight. So when GM or any CNC maker produce their bats do they adjust the sizes (add a few mm on) or do they let the natural variations in cleft weight dictate? I.e. they all have 40mm edges and some weigh 2.8 and some 2.12?

This. All GM bats should be to the same shape/size, within their own model of course. An Octane won't be the same as a Six6. Natural variation allows for different weights.

If you want a big bat for a light weight CNC bats are the way to go

Nonsense!

Nonsense!

Why? a 2lb 5 or 2lb 15 bat from GM in 606 range will have the same dimensions. Its just harder to find....

Okay cool, that is what I thought. Must be a right bummer if you get one of the heavy ones if you purchase off the internet lets say!

Depends if you like light or heavy bats. Just because the wood is denser, doesn't make it a plank

True true! It is almost a waste of a light cleft though isn't it! But that is what B3 are for isn't it!
