Is it possible to have a bat with a hitting area which starts from just under the stickers and goes all the way to the toe?

The bat has to be a normal size bat. Not a mmi3 etc.

If possible what�s the lightest weight it can be?

What will be the downsides of having such a bat?

And more importantly, has anyone got one of these?

Any bat that is pressed optimally should be all middle

If it is a good bat, it will ping everywhere. Just get a mid middle bat, with a spine running from the handle through to the toe you should be fine. Or you can get it custom made and see for yourself

You are getting in to the technical definition of "middle" here. Is not possible to have a bat that feels like you have a middle all the way through the bat due to the way vibrational nodes work. This doesn't mean you couldn't have an optimally pressed bat where the ball might travel as though it had been hit from the middle at any point on the bat, but that pressing would be tricky.

Surely the term 'middle' means the obsolute optimum area on the bat, rather than just a spot where the ball rebounds fairly well.

That does seem to be changing on here though, when I heard bats being described as having a middle that goes from the splice to the toe and edge to edge!

laminate......

the toe on mine is as good as the middle on some of my bats!

By an all middle bat, do you mean that it would perform the same way from stickers until toe? You can get one, but if the middle is good as the toe and the splice, the middle itself won't be great.

yet to find a bat that pings off the toe or splice, impossible to create i would imagine.

following my coaching thread, i'd say you're better off spending �200 on 4 hours of coaching to teach you how to hit the middle of the bat more often, rather than �200 on a bat that's all middle

100% agree with Rich

having more than 2/3 bats is ludicrous (unless its sort of a hobby like collecting stamps or star wars figures) and the �300 for a bat would get you to use the edge a little less often and make your current bat feel a lot better

my match bat is a thing of beauty, now it's been refurbished by Ryan. i think i bought it from Tim, so thanks for that!

That's what I meant but what you are saying sounds like an all Toe bat and no middle :-)

That will do nicely.

I saw a bat that pinge the same accross the whole blade, it was �9.99 from sport direct and whatever bit you used, middle, toe, edge or splice it wouldn't go off the square!
