A lad at my club had one last season and it had a lamitoe, not sure how long they've been doing it for?

[thedevil]

Interesting to see they have resorted to a lamitoe as well or have Bradbury always used them?

What exactly is the lamitoe ? Looks interesting

The lamitoe is the insert you can see in the toe of the bat.
It strengthens the toe and helps against those nasty yorkers cracking the toe!

This is a stunning piece of willow 

Awesome work Paul; do you guys get to handpick your bats as well?

As far as I can recollect the lamitoe was introduced on Bradbury bats in 2011. But guess it is for the shop bats only as the lamitoe makes the bats grade B (I think so).

That face is flatter than a very flat thing. You'd cut yourself on those edges!

Wherever possible, yes - sometimes it can't be done though, but in these cases we've usually been lucky in the quality of willow sent to us - Bradbury being perhaps the best example...

flat face = enhanced edge size which apparently is all the rage at the moment....people must bat with the edges nowadays

Sam Miller, formerly of Chase (famous for their Lamitoe), now runs Masuri & Bradbury UK. Which is why they've only recently been introduced.

flat faces are gay

flat faces are gay

having tried couple of bats with a flat face, I really like them. especially Pete's Charlie French, I find it easier to control the slightly off centre shots.
so it isn't just about edge size.

[Colesy]

I just don't like the look for them with the really sharp edge. I'm not sure I have enough talent to worry about controlling slightly off centre shots.

[Tom]

You can have a flat face with rounded edges.

[Buzz]

I think the cf bats don't have quite the same sharp edges.
I am sure johnny or Pete could confirm.
it isn't about controlling the ball, it stops the ball sliding off the face so much. I think...!
it could well prove to be a bit of a fad... this I think should be taken elsewhere
