CD no, that's not true.

I've never had problems with the edges, but then I always edge tape and scuff my bats

JM told me that fibreglass/edge tape is only good if it's wrapped around the bat, and that putting it on the edges isn't necessary. This was 3 years ago.

I still do it every now and again with my bats though, lol.

Has anyone ever felt that maneuvering the singles and nudges are easier if the face of the bat is a bit flatter?

[Johnny]

...you'll have to ask a Nigel Nudge'n'prod

in the nets I have found this, bit can't confirm for sure.
I have also found, as I said earlier, that if you slightly miss time a drive it still goes more where you are aiming, rather than going too square.

That's what Stuart Kranzbuhler says about flat faces in this video, in regards to the ball going where you want it to go:

I don't really notice any different batting with a flat faced bat or a normal one. I just bat. Get out.

Cheers mate I just had a look at my Oblivion and it has flat face and bow so you're correct

[100 not out]

ultimately it is just a wood redistribution exercise.

What is this 'nudging a single' that you speak of?

[roco]

How many makers can press a flat face well if asked though

it is what proper batsmen do when facing high quality left arm spin.

[FattusCattus]

Ahhh - I will select my flatest face should I be required to lower myself to such a unpleasant form of scoring.

[Joe]

How about a concave face?
