Offset Handle with it closer to the inside edge for right handers.  :o

Anybody tried one of these? Bigginge, how does it feel to use? It certainly looks odd!

What are people's thoughts?

Let's just say that when we made the prototypes for it, none of the test/county players who came and tried it noticed it had offset untill we told them.

I feel that you have to be looking for it to feel wrong for it to feel wrong. There are 2 or 3 members of staff who have used them in indoor leagues over the winter and swear by them.

I don't know, I think it leaves room for interpretation...

I can't believe that all these cricket bat manufacturers are so tight at not giving out freebies all the time in the same way car salesmen allow you a test drive...! :o
