I have a new idea for a scientific performance test involving a leaf blower, the side of a shed, some flexible tube and a few cricket bats and balls....

before anybody gets excited both bats are 2'12 plus and will have big and wide middles. Maybe a better test would be 2 very light bats where edge and middle size had a greater influence on performance.

Simmy, which one picks up better?

in my experience i have found bats with high spines to pick up better......

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

you would be suprised mate both bats pick up very well for the weight.

id say the high spined one picked up better, but i preffered the other one as i like a bottom heavy bat. whats why johnny now owns the big spine one
