Interesting! How did you settle on that combination?
I wanted to lose weight on the bat back when i started playing again a few years ago so started exploring ways i could do that without concaving the back. Initially i trimmed the top of the handle, which lost almost 0.5oz, that combined with a switch from clear scuff sheet to fibre face lost me almost 1oz, great start and it worked, scored loads of runs that season. Then during the off season, my mind wondered again, could i lose more weight? So removed the binding from the handle which gave me back 0.3-0.5 oz. Then i read on this forum that some pros take an inch off the bottom, at that point i wasn't quite brave enough to do that, so i got 15mm taken off, felt great and took off more extra weight and again had a good season. Next off season, got curious again and then went the whole hog and asked for 1 inch off the bottom, felt really good, i was now having the big bats at 2.8 weights. I didn't miss the toe as the ball hitting that area would have gone nowhere. The handle worked for me as i have medium/small hands and i hold the bat 1.5 inch from the bat shoulder. Additionally, i started holding the bat up instead of having on the ground. Ive had quite a few compliments from oppo and team mates who held the bat commending the pickup. If you have an old bat hanging around and fancy trying it, i'd highly recommend it, especially as a T20 bat.
