Currently being hidden from Mrs Buzz
« on: December 21, 2011, 03:32:11 PM »
The bat testing certainly is fun... really not sure which will be my match bat next summer






in order - left to right -
custom concept bat - not used yet
New Saf - really lovely - tapping up a treat with a pretty high middle
TK/Brimble - Lion bat - just about perfect
GM Icon 606 - a real gem - tapping up pretty well so far
SAF Genus 100 - last years match bat and the season befores for that matter. looks new, but has a big crack in the toe

oh and the Icon is the lightest, the Genus is the heaviest

A nice looking bunch of bats. The grip set up on them look like baby Vic had helped you ;) (apologies if I got his name wrong)

What's your grip setup there..?

single double thickness chevron with a very thick half grip underneath (or two thinner grips)

With the ICON I picked up some GM grips to match the original one which was knackered and have cut one into two and put both halves underneath the normal grip.
Typically I trim the half grips to suit where my bottom hand and top hand is.
This set up weighs about 3-4oz depending on the grips in question so there is a balance to get the grips right without impacting the feel of the bat.

the reason I do this is to try to reduce the impact of my bottom hand - i.e. to help me play straighter
