Damn I wasn't going to bother answering this as I'll end up ranting but here goes.... All concaving works we know that [so V to V], C to C is just a traditional bat so we know that works... V to C would not worked for me because it will not be balanced and not give what I need to make sure the moment of inertia is doing what it is suppose to work with my offset edges and also with vibration damping..... 

That brings me neatly on to the middles to high bit, the middle is lower then it looks in the pictures but even so that is not really the point.  When you swing a bat the sweetspot moves that is the whole idea behind the offset edge principle to account for this move so therefore this bat may look highish [especially in these pictures] but when you use it isn't

Regardless of all this you've forgotten something that is quite important to me, you've forgotten to say that middle is to high for me.... Why!!! Well I'm a custom bat maker so if you look at one of my bat profiles and say that middle is a bit high you've forgotten I dont buy in bats or sticker them up on standard profiles, I dont pretend I make them, I do. They are all handmade to customer requirements, the middle can be moved on any bat profile, which I design from scratch. I've even gone to the point of offering a curved face, flat faced option on the blade for the pressing requirements. 

I dont mind if you dont like, I can easily live with that. I do mind if you pigeon hole a bat based on a middle position, when I try so hard to state what I do and how I do it....

I knew I was going to rant!

Here are couple more pics and I hope you can see the edge and spine in a better light....






Haha sorry about that! I was actually going to ask how customisable this shape would have been! I'll drop a PM with regards to a possible purchase sometime when I have time! :) What weight does the Mechten in these pics come to?
