sorry for hijacking the thread a bit. I came back into cricket after 25 years out and bats have obviously changed a hell of a lot. Maybe the older style suited me better?

I looked at it and thought "You know what, that looks a lot like a screaming cat"...

Just looked at there website. It does a tad. Gladly this one has better stickers, and a far better price tag.

what are the measurements for the max toe/edge/spine height please? Be interesting to see how big a bat without concaving can be.

smilley792 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 23, 2013, 10:53:39 PM »

This bat is(measurements via john)

66mm spine
20-30mm toe
20mm edge at toe
25mm at its peak.
Tapers to about 13mm at the shoulders.

I suppose ultimate size for a bat comes down to density off cleft and weight the batsmen is willing to use.

A 3lb plus bat made from the "test" match density cleft would be huge!

Hope it plays really well, I'm sure it will! Tim's right, it does look quite a lot like a Screaming Cat. How do you find the handle? I had a bat from John, and found that he made the best oval handle I had ever held in my hands. Shame I couldn't get on with the bat!

I've mentioned on a previous thread that I simply could not get used to edging a sweep with a concaved bat and feeling like I'd middled it.

Whereas this is clearly an advantage to some, as someone who's old enough to have grown up exclusively with traditional shapes and edges I simply couldn't get used to it, hence going back to a more traditional shape.

That's a lovely bat, great job to all involved...

Why not go for the best of both worlds. Traditional shaped bat (high spine, no concaving and moderate edges) with TAS inserts. Thin edges with TAS inserts perform better than 40mm+ edges found on modern bats. Visit our facebook page for more info www.facebook/tasbats01

Forgive my ignorance but can you explain how the edges perform better?

I want the middle to be the bit that performs.

Agree why spend �500 on a bat when �200 bat and 10 one to one coaching sessions might be of more use. Big fan of proper bowling machine practise to improve batting.
