I really want to see this bat in the flesh...

Well, Tim, you know where the shop is... 

Going to try and do a video review today, but I want to make it a bit more general about the e41 500 as a bat, not so much about the freakishness of this particular bat.  I have a feeling I'll struggle to do this though...

I think what this also goes to prove is that specific, measured datums within bat production, when done by hand, are a nonsense. You dont' walk into a shop with a ruler and say "Is each edge 37mm, is the spine 49mm". you pick up the bat and swing it around and say "This feels heavy/light/perfect/odd". If when you pick it up, the balance isn't off then those sizes really don't matter.

Maybe the edges are uneven on purpose in order to help balance the bat?

Agreed.  These specs only really apply to the armchair / online shopper...

What I do t get maybe it posted elsewhere but isn't a e41 supposed to have 41mm edges he se the name

At least 41mm edges I believe.

Here here, really confuses me when i see people asking for a 28.94mm edge and a 72.12mm spine, each to his own and all that but I can imagine even any pro's are that anal about bat sizes.

Agree I like a certain shape style and edge size it not exact but it a profile and a edge size

It is also the feel

Most bats have that little difference edges concaving like the wood very very few bats of any ate identical

We did a video review for this bat today.  Just uploading it to YouTube now.  It's a pretty long one, so will probably take a while!  I will post the link once it's up...
