Equal grains important?
« on: April 28, 2015, 05:37:47 PM »
Hi guys,

A friend got me a bat, it's M&H international harrow size...it has huge huge edges 44mm, even the toe is 24mm and ball pings like crazy, has 8 straight grains but not equal distance apart, is that a bad sign?

A bat is a tool, made out of wood, for hitting a cricket ball.

Grains, blemishes etc are merely cosmetic, if it pings well who cares what it looks like?

You clearly do not have  OCD.

To me, it doesn't matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in cricket and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win.

Grains tell us more about the life of the willow the more grains there are the older the tree that said some say the more equal and straight the grains the better the bat will play but in all honesty how a bat plays begins with the pressing.
