If you look at Salix POD and Falx bats. The Pod have a high thin spine and the Falx has the opposit.





Can people understand, what im trying to say ?
 
What difference does it make ?

[THERUBIN]

I'm not talking about the CTS or CTE...

Are you talking about the concaving in the Pod?

[Canners]

I think we're talking about spine height here. The falx will have a higher spine due to the concaving, if the edge size remains constant in both bats along with willow density and  weight then a concaved bat will always have a higher spine than said bat with no concaving.

[THERUBIN]

On the POD picture, it says radical sanding and the Falx says convex sanding

[Ryan]

Convex is the opposite of concaving so a convex profile will be rounded rather than concaved like the pod.  The spine will be generally be higher in the pod due to the willow volume removed through concaving. 

[THERUBIN]

And why have it higher ?

My toughts are, that the sweepspot, will be smaller, because you need to hit the ball, right in the middle of the bat, instead of the convex profile, would have a wider sweepspot.
But then the Pod would have a lighter pick up and maybe better balance..

Could that have anything to do with it ?

[ammo]

In the pod the sweespot would not be as wide whilst in the flax you would get a wide sweet spot

This has been discusses numerous times. Its probably worth using the search function and reading what norbs, doc bolcon and Tim's posted about concaved and convexed profiles.

If you are specifically talking about Salix bats, in my experience you need to look at them on a bat to bat basis, as there can be subtle differences between different blades of the same model.

for example, if you watch this, you will see that one Pod is concaved, the other is convex.
