Measuring Concaving
« on: March 13, 2014, 12:59:28 PM »

Less measuring, more a way of viewing it using a cut up bat grip:-



I would say that's moderate concaving.

Might be useful for future sales threads.

See I'd say that is little concaving.



What do we also do when the concaving is different along the blade?

I measured it at the peak of the spine. I guess you could adjust it up and down taking pics of each position.

That's 5 percent concaving based on the Lekka scale.

I guess it's not all snaded in a perfect radius, but could you not then measure the distance from the grip to the bat in the middle of each side?

This place is soon going to explode, with each description of a bat having a seemingly meaningless set of numbers and codes that only hardened posters will understand!

I did have a think afterwards. Piece of string might be a solution to creating an actual number. Measure it tight as above and then running along the back of the bat. Closer it is to a 1:1 ratio the less it is concaved. You could even conceive an metric similar to pickup - BCI (Bat Concave Index) lol

i agree. doesnt look a lot of concaving at all. Maybe we need a Steak style scale to cover minor overlapping

not concaved
minor concaving
minor to mid concaving
mid concaving
mid to high concaving
high/heavy concaving.

That's interesting. Yet the "special CA" featured in IJC's video, you regarded as "reasonably concaved"?

I would also agree. Not much concaving there.

Based on a measure with against no straight lines...! Perceptions differ with no datum and going back and taking a look, I'd still say it was more concaved than this!
