Its a longer middle. The middle on the left hand one is huge whilst retaining a great pick up. I think I have fallen in love with this shape.

The one on the left looks an absolute animal.
Much concaving to help the pick up?

A little not much, as you know I'm not a fan of a lot of concaving

Is the one on the left your usual shape? Looks very similar to mine, it have you tweeted it?

EDIT: just compared mine to these, earth one is different. The one on the left seems to have a lower sweet spot.

I think you may  be right horseman but it's not too snappy as a catch phrase  :D

Great work Paul, I love the new shape! Looks like a lovely reassuringly low middle that packs a great punch when clubbing them off the front foot. I also enjoy the extended spine on this one. Do you think that has contributed to the middle being a bit longer?

I'd love to see you take on a mid to high middled bat next. Something for slightly quicker and bouncier tracks.

Would love to see a comparison of the middle position with this new shape next to your shape with the spine running through to the toe.
Reckon you've got most preferences covered with your shapes now.

I love this latest one the middle is huge even though it looks low and the pick up is awesum. It just takes me back to those great bats that were around when I was making my way but a tad bigger.

I have to say I don't think people hit it any further than they used to when I was playing by having the big bats now. There were always freaks who could hit it miles. They have even brought the boundaries in these days to make it look more spectacular. I can remember chris cairns hitting me for six at derby and it was still going up as it hit the top corner of the score box we just stood there laughing and he got me a beer after the game and I willingly accepted it. He wasn't the only one either

Someone just sent this through to me not the day I got hit for six by cairns but probably by someone else. Blimey this does make me feel my age
