If there is another like this it's very tempting as for the weight it's a tree on a stick

I was waiting for someone to ask

I'll have to let the creator say as not sure if it's patented yet but its on par with the buzz edge system

I will take an educated guess as Half Grip underneath then Spiral on top?

As he has gone off line its the Hosk Grip Adjustment System basically cut a grip in half down middle of grip then place that on the back of the handle selotaped down and your away whether you do just bottom hand like sir hosk or full handle like me it just feels nice but this bat did not need much as it's a beast

Using coins to measure edges if possible a 40mm coin

Not my cloth too high brow for me
