Haha you can say that again! Only using it as a net bat at the moment but it's definitely a goer

I think you are all insane. I don't understand why you would go above 240 grit. A bat will get seam marks, red marks, scrape marks all over it and you want to achieve a finish a French polisher would be proud of. I look after my gear well but this is unnecessary.
when it comes to bats

Insane ? yes you are probably correct.

Whats the best way to sand concaved backs, that's what I've always struggled with, bearing in mind I do it in a manshed with limited tools.

Hand sand using a sponge! Wrap the sandpaper over the sponge and go to work. The sponge moulds to the shape of the bat.
