Why is everyone obsessed with the number of grains? I'm not always sure that it does make a bat look better...

Most i have is the gt with 12/13, but that doesn look crammed, i like 9-10 straight, evenly spaced grains if we are talking look alone, think it looks more solid and just neater than 20+ crammed in!!

Is this the Talisman that you bought? Also did you sort that weight/balance issue you had on the bat a while ago?
