Has anyone ever proved that a bat with less grains performs differently to a bat with more? 

[peplow]

how would one go about "proving" that?

[PedalsMcgrew]

I haven't got the faintest idea! Just wondering whether our obsession with grains (mine included) actually makes any difference whatsoever to the performance of a bat......

[peplow]

the myth is that more grains = less time to play in and find ultimate performance
so less grains = more time needed to play in and find the ultimate performance

must still be a myth as not sure how it can be proved at all, let alone generalised for all willow.

[PedalsMcgrew]

And bearing in mind that 'ultimate performance' is subjective as well I guess it must be a myth!

I remember when I was talking to Julian he said depending on how much you use a bat but more grains one will last for a season or season and a half while fewer grains one can take you for three season.

Again depends how much you use, how you use etc

And bearing in mind that 'ultimate performance' is subjective as well I guess it must be a myth!

another good point , not only is it a subjective thing but at which point could you subjectively tell your bat will get no better?

I think its safe to say its a myth and people will have their varying thoughts on the subject

Pedals youve tried the scat. What did u think?

[tim2000s]

We've proven that bats with varying numbers of grains perform pretty similarly (unscientifically of course). Look here:

All the ping scores of 10 are from bats with differing numbers of grains.

Perfect mate, really wins the race. 10 out of 10 easily!

Apologies for bringing up an old topic, but I thought with people getting new bats for 2012 that it might have be interesting to see new entries; plus I was just going through my Photobucket account and found some pictures.
