Pardon my ignorance but would the balance and offcentre shots be affected by such a high spine to edge ratio ?
^ What he said ^
Somehow I can't warm up to the super-high-spine Distinction type shape. I would much rather oversized clefts were used to create a rounded profile a la Newbery Tour, so a large volume of wood is distributed more evenly across the width of the bat.
But then, if this one goes like stink, it's all good
