interesting post uknsaunders - but as I said - I know what it is and what it does - the question is WHY do people get worked up about levels of concaving??

Purely because of the aesthetic of it...

How they got away with calling her Pussy Galore in Goldfinger I will never know.

It was a fair question and a slightly more polite response would have been appropriate I think.

I didn't mean for it to come accross as rude. 

Uknsaunders found and re-posted the article I had thought of so no harm done...

so what exactly is the issue with concaving?

None as such. It is certainly interesting to see how much some bats have been concaved. End of the day it's a balance between edge size/middle spine and the amount of concaving you have to keep the weight down. If we could all have bats with big edges and no-concaving we would but sometimes it can't be done. I've never really had a bat with huge concaving but it would be interesting to see what others say about on/off centre performace compared to a bat without concaving.

i use an MH Distinction 2010 shape and its just one big middle, i put that down to the massive spine running the entire length of the hitting area. Edges are 20mm, spine 75mm, its concaved but the back never goes below the edge.

 It broke and i have used/borrowed about 6 different bats since and they have all been noticeably inferior and with significantly less concaving.

My MSR Premier Elite @ 2.10...no concaving just the way I like it

Sorry, No string 

Look at the spine on this one...looks like a camel's back!!

[GarrettJ]

To me that is not massively concaved just a steep spine

That's a bit cheeky. I expect the edge is bigger on the new one?

The new GT has a little bit wood removed from the top half along with subtle concave to add onto the edges. I am still not sure which one is better, but the pick up on the old GT is sublime that you could almost caress the balls to the boundary.
