Just reading through the pdf on their web page!!!!
edit_1:
First thing to note... tested against a woodworm!!!!
Second thing I'd ask is was the conventional bat [Woodworm] knocked in - [does the mongoose need knocking in and was that?]
more updates soon!!!!!
edit_2:
Moment of Interia- not sure if anyone has read my blog but it says swing speed is faster on the mongoose - but in short
The Low Toe Theory - Ummm you're on a merri-go-round and you stand at the end then your weight is propelled around faster [greater momentum] then if you stand in the middle. By moving the weight of the bat further down it has greater momentum then if it is was distributed around the blade….

edit_3 -
Then it bangs on about the Mongoose bat being stiffer... but it seems that it has the same vibration qualities of the a normal blade. Virbration means energy loss and therefore less energy on batted ball speeds.... So no real benefits from blade stiffness
So the only real benefit is bat swing speed and that has been compromised due to the pickup being heavy.....
Sweet spot - it says it says it is the same.... but there are 2 ommisions in the PDF that would have helped out with this and that is Centre of Precussion and Coefficient of Restitution
- Ok something quick on both Coefficient of Restitution [CoR] you can try this at home. Drop a ball from a fixed height onto the cricket bat and measure the rebound height of the ball - CoR is the square root of rebound height divided by Original height. [this just gives you a number]. But you will see / measure a rebound difference between two cricket bats. CoR is dependant on a number of things
Centre of percussion [CoP] - hang a bat where you normally hold it and hit it with a mallet. At the point it swings like a pendulum that is the CoP. Or when playing with it when the ball hits the cricket bat at a point that it neither pushes your hands forwards or backwards
--- Also noticed mongoose bats are all heavier then the woodworm bat as well.... [
