I'm sure Tim ran something similar, where you weighed both the toe end and the handle end of a bat and noted them down. The weight at the toe indicated how heavy the bat would 'feel', and weight at the top is obviously the counterbalancing weight. Not sure where the thread is, but it gave a pretty decent indication of how a 'pick up quantifying system' could work!

Yep. 2 identical scales on a horizontal surface and bob's your uncle!

I think the whole idea that club cricketers can know the precise weight their bat needs to be, to the exact ounce, is a bit ridiculous.

Obviously, noone needs their cricket bat to be anything at all. However if people know their own preference then good on them, everyone has their sweet spot. I know myself that in the types of shapes I like for match use, I very consistently choose bats that are within less than an ounce difference in weight when I put them on the scales. Now I know what I like, but can easily imagine an OCD type being much more picky.
