Agree with Buzz. On the gun bat that has a stain near the middle (towards the top end of the sweetspot and a bit to towards the outside edge), I can't feel but it really flies. Have hit a few edged sixes that have really surprised me.
Harder and stronger on that count for sure.

Doesn't explain why another one with the stain is nothing special. But then, there are so many variables that its not really an apples to apples comparison.

I know a lot of warsop bats often have butterfly stains under the label near the splice. So would explain the durability aspect...
Have there been any tests into whether butterfly stains perform better? Maybe this is something Ayrtek could look into  ;)

GJ - Do the folks at Warsop do this on purpose? My Warsop platinum has a stain exactly where you mentioned, maybe slightly lower than that. Haven't knocked it in yet but it is pinging quite well from that area.

Not one to comment on whether they do it on purpose, but perhaps they realise it does stregthen the area around it, as the splice is an area along with the toe what is susceptable to breaking.
I know they do have a butterfly bat in their range which are the bats which specifically have the butterfly stains.
