Hi Dave, do you guys grade clefts as 'pro' due to their density, or have you guys managed to gauge performance?

Hi Dave, do you guys grade clefts as 'pro' due to their density, or have you guys managed to gauge performance?

Crown clefts are a strange one really some pro who use lighter bats 2-6 to 2-8 use crown so they get the same size as a 2-11 or 12 bat.

But most Pro use 3 and some 2 stripe mate we just pick them out as some like 2 tone which we would not  sell as 3 stripe because more than half is heartwood  and so on mate so want 20 grains and do not care for evenness.

Hope that makes sense.

In my eyes a crown is only worth it if your bat is going to be under 2-8 or one of the hard to get beautiful grains ones.

Most pro are not as fussy as people think yet some are and fair enough it there trade.

Hello all I'm back at hq all day Thursday is there anything anybody wants or anything people want to know.

I'm hopeful of getting a date for the 2nd birthday I will take a few pictures of the specials on offer.

Clefts anything people want pictures of or anything also questions to the doctor as I'm be doing a Q&A with him if there intrest ?

Hi
looking to get a B3 for my son.On a size 6 bat in your custom range, what weight range would he get if I selected "light" in the bat weight settings.

[Kulli]

I have some Q's for the Dr


Do low density clefts offer any bonuses in terms of performance, and if so why?
Do you believe narrow grained clefts give better performance in general?
Whats the oddest request you have had for a custom shaped bat?
Do butterfly bats cause problems when pressing, given the hardness of the stains?

[procricket]

Thanks Dave will get the A's

Any more fire away i intend on getting a final date set for the 2nd Birthday i will get a couple of pictures of the sample bats and other goodies being sold at great discount.

Dave.

Questions for the Dr,

Could he explain B3 thoughts behind pressing a bat and what they look to achieve.

What shape/design of bat have they found to give the biggest coverage/middle

What do the guys look for when picking a top performing cleft.

[LewisA]

is the 349 still there? how much would a bat in the the trott profile weigh using this cleft and how much would it cost?

[JB]

Think the Trott was 2.15 from a 400 cleft so it would be 2.10 in 349

In other words, some pro's could hit sixes with a bit of 2 x 4, it's just what they grew up using/has worked for them which guides them when deciding their bats.

Indeed that is correct and the 349 has been sold unfortunately but I will see if there any left in that weight not crown.

No pro's  do not select clefts we do unlike us there not as fussy by and large like is on here.

But they do tend to hit the middle more, well the batting ones
