Can some-one explain to me what phi actually means. Thanks lol

I was talking about this earlier in the year at a Sunday game with some mates. I was thinking you could take it a step further and make a bat that was in ratio to a specific batsman! This idea hasn't yet left the pub though :s

[rbblack]

I'd be willing to buy (pay for one to be made) a "Golden Ratio" bat next year if no one else has had one made by then. Or if one is made and it looks good I might get one as well!

Hummmm,

What width would it be?

Not sure Im buying this...

Max is the standard width in the regs so 10.8 cm.

If someone is keen on doing this then ill try and make it. I would need all dimensions etc. I like a challenge. Anyone interested let me know and we can discuss further

That was my first point of call also lol, but still made no sense!

So width is 10.8
Edge size would be 3.6
Spine height 7.2

Short handle bat is 85.09
So you'd want the handle at 28.36333333333333r
Blade at 56.726666666r

And the middle or spine maximum height at 18.98888888r

All in cm.



Is that right? Or did I not understand correctly?

Your ratio is all over the shop. Handle to blade should be the same ratio as blade to overall length, and given the handmade nature, 1.6 is close enough. I put the sizes in one of the earlier threads. There are many areas you may wish to use the ratio...

Anyone with some spare cash and a sense of adventure willing to give it a go?

one thing that would be interested to know is the shape of the bat. there has been mention of max spine height, edge size etc but you can still manipulate that. for example the max spine height could be achieved in a zona style bat or a high spine on a modern bat which you could obviously concave the back.

is is possible to have say 3 measurements for the spine and the edges. ie max spine and edge height at the swell and then measurements for the shoulder and toe area. would then give a more accurate shape rather than being manipluated.

Does that make sense?

[Number4]

Max spine height needs to be in relation to the width of the bat using the 1.6 ratio don't forget though

I guess you can really pick and choose which ratios you will use.

I think if you stick with the main ones i.e handle to blade, width to spine, middle position from toe.... I think Tim pretty much nailed the specs earlier in the thread

[smilley792]

Make them to the formula, then use concaving to achieve your desired weight?


Can anyone use cad? Enter tims numbers in and see what it looks like? And put a pic on here.
