for me the toe is a dead area of the bat, only issue is the strength


i agree with this. all you want is enough wood to ensure the toe doesnt break, anything more is waste of wood, in my opinion.

Haven't you guys read all the reviews of people hitting giant 6's with the toe of their Toro's!

Toes are the new middles  ;)

I partly agree with those that say the toe is a dead area of the bat. If I smack one right on the toe it never goes anywhere and I don't think I've seen anybody hit it for six off the lowest spot on the bat. The question is, how far up the bat does the duck bill go before it affects performance? Just smacking a bat, the first 2-3 inches are dead and then it starts to respond. Does a Duckbilled bat respond in a similar spot to a bat with a bigger toe or spine down to the bottom?

An Impala from a few years ago, nice duck bill. Doing a bit of a clean up at the moment, forgot how many bats I have, might be time for Ebay I think.
