Am i right in thinking that it is possible to get two bats out of a single cleft with the 20/20 bats yet still charge astronomically high prices........i am suprised they didn't think of this earlier!!!
i am very much a skeptic of this new bit of 'technology' - Norb, have you followed a similar design to the mongoose and laver, or have you added your own special twist?

I'm pretty sure you can't, although you could get cheaper clefts which maybe had knots at one end or chunks out of them. Or even order shorter clefts.

fair enough, i stand corrected! But i still believe this is an expensive gimmick - having said that, if i went out and scored 50 or 100 with it i am sure my opinion will change, it will be interesting to see what type of feedback these bats get when they have been used a little more extensively in the professional and amateur ranks.......let us know how you get on with it at the nets!

I thought the idea was it was meant to have a long handle?

? Total Blade length is 19inches

edit: I think I know what you are saying.... It is a normally spliced bat but edges taken away so the handle is thicker because of that...

Do you think the bat is as powerful as it says on the tin ;) is it worth buying? Played with it yet?

Not yet I'm using it tonight in nets.... Thing is mine is different because it is spliced conventionally therefore the wider handle area at the shoulder... If I've still got a handle in the bat after nets tonight [:D] I'll let you know... As I'd imagine everyone is going to want to have a go.
