I'm still yet to fall in love with my Hattori, It was the most expensive bat I have bought, Nice grains, good rebound etc just not got on the way I thought I would. It's sometimes 3rd choice. (behind a Talisman T20 and a Solution)

Sometimes it takes a good season for a bat to open up

And if you have a bad season, it can take a couple ;)

Over winter nets I give my new bat to team mates to use. Normally opens up the bat nicely for the season

nothing wrong with that. Other people using the bat help to play it in.

You are in the majority most people leave the workshop with a heavier bat.. your not the 1st and wont be the last

@tim2000s You are only late on the shot with a heavier bat if the swing weight is out of your norm! MMOI ;)

And if you are a weakling.... Although, I was waiting for a comment like that, as the combination of increased weight and longer blade definitely changes that....

Yep it is still the force required to get it going in the swing...

Would you recommend bringing batting gloves to the workshop, as I find they sometimes alter pickup?

Is it fair to say then that there is an optimum weight for everyone? And if that is the case, is it just a case of trial and error or is there a way of working it out using the maths and the numbers and stuff  :D

Would imagine that weight would be more important since it will remain relatively constant.
Pick will vary for different bats with different shapes.

Would this not be due to people selecting shapes for bats that are simply not possible at certain weights?

No nothing to do with that.... it is just they pick it in the workshop as you work on it and we dont generally weigh until the end
