I would go with this one personally, all about the boundary

The edges of my bat take a beating, the middle is near enough new.

The model names of bats will obviously sometimes be weapon names or something people can link to something destructive - whether that be a gun, plane, or something else that people will want to link to their "detructive batting!" If Newbery released a bat called the Daisy or the Pansy, I suspect that it would be a commercial disaster!
To 99% of people on the forum, this is pretty obvious!!!

Am locking this topic as it's absolutely pointless!
