I know the laver looks butchered! But it proved effective
I hadn't noticed how thick i had left the toe, it's not far off the same as my Affinity Toro

Matt took 4oz off a 666 I had and it went well before and after. Profile was a bit flatter but picked up brilliantly, went from 2'13 to 2'9.

Salix took 2Oz out of a bat I had just by rounding off the spine in the toe and with some gentle concaving, forgot I'd had it done until I saw some pictures of the bats when new on my HD.

I am now beginning to wonder if the shape of the bat matters at all? We are paying hundreds of dollars for these "shapes" and profiles, is that all gimmickry?

david gower and brian lara used to bat with a bat without a spine .............. in fact it was concaved out

its all horsesh1t to get you to part with £400 - £500 in my opinion

I buy shapes I like and as long as the point where I hit the ball and get fewest vibrations is roughly mid height, I'm not overly concerned by the shape as a whole. Hence why I am still loving the Dynadrive!

I'd love to have a go at making a dynadrive
I think it provokes such strong opinion on bat design

Dropped my Warsop off yesterday to have some weight removed so will see in a couple of weeks what it comes back like.

I have to be honest and say that I found the service interesting as was told weight could only be removed from the middle despite there being a lot of wood in toe and shoulder area so I was talking about maybe more of a duck bill toe that a lot of bats have at present and gradually working way to middle. He seemed confused by this and just said you will go from a 40mm edge to approx 30mm which I was fine with. I just said I do not want it too come back like a concaved to hell Indian bat.

Well I guess we will wait and see and once used in its new weight I'll let you know if it's effected performance

You can take weight anywhere as long as you aren't leaving it too thin. Unless you are rebalancing a bat and of course the dimensions allow, it's best to remove weight from all over. By removing it just in one area that's going to make the pick up a bit different to what it is now

Chris If it was my bat With a lot of wood in the toe and shoulders I would ask for the wood to be removed from there first rather than the Middle and see how it feels  that said I guess the batmakers knows his stuff.

Warsop can be a bit funny with any changes to a bat or out of the ordinary in my experience. It the only negative ive ever heard of with them.I think they view it as they know what they are doing and don't like changing the bat after it's been made
Iv'e been down there myself and found them excellent, my mate had a custom made bat last season there and it did crack in an unusual place(the back) and they replaced it with an even better quality willow all no quibbles and no problem
he's delighted with it
I've had a couple of platinums and was stupid enough to sell them on :)
