One tip is to put a couple of cut down grips on the handle. Makes it comfortable and means you can hit harder and longer!!

I rest the back of the bat on a towel over our cloth washing basket and bash to kingdom come.  Just need to hold the handle for support then!

Round head. But it's not leaving dents
Try glancing blows on the face, instead of hitting it head on

How hard do you knock near the Toe Area?

My SG was a dud to start it but two seasons on, it is an absolute dream now.

Somehow my ricochet is now going like an absolute train and I'm not sure it's even opened up fully.   Msr is going the same way too
