Scoops and Concaving - A comparison
« on: March 16, 2012, 08:38:53 PM »

As I had the bats and the camera to hand tonight and we've had many discussions about the benefits of all, I have here a Scoop at just over 2lb9oz with one grip and a concaved bat which also with one grip is 2lb10oz.

On the edge, the are both similar - approximately 40 mm edges:




Now, I know that one is a Long Blade and the other is a Short Handle, but from the toe, this is the view:




So what can we take from this? Well you can decide, but I'd say that the Revolution may be drier as I can't see how a bat with a larger blade could possibly have a spine and weigh the same as a scoop given the shapes of the two.

Actually the Scoop is made from all the heavy willow, I thought this was known on the forum, the shapes are all smaller than the Oblivion and Powerbow s as the edges are nearly the same sizes. All the GN's have flat faces.

I did think my scoop had a pretty flat face, though not as flat as kooks.
