They did a great job!

A guy at my club uses one and says it pings. How does taking the scoop out, make it middle so well?!

[Beachcricket]

That looks so nice now, they did a good job with the stickers too. I wish they still made them...

[ianbuchanan]

good job it looks awesome!

how does taking the middle out make it go so well?

[Beachcricket]

I've been thinking about the scoop shape compared to the modern bats with high spines. Wouldn't a scoop be like having two smaller middles spread across the blade, increasing the sweet spot size (but perhaps not power) like on a cavity back golf iron?

How does it compare power/pickup wise to other bats you've used?

[Johnny]

I thinnk peremeter weighting is the idea of the concept. It picks up really well. Haven't used it in anger yet, so don't know on the power front, but it should be getting an outing soon.

[Beachcricket]

Is this a new model?
