Paul did a YouTube video of the Velocity Traditional profile.
Could be what you're looking for.

I prefer a traditional style bat so I went for a G1 butterfly supreme.

I think throughout the range the standout feature is the length of the middle, all of the profiles look based on creating the biggest area for hitting. Thats certainly the way mine feels. I wasn't too sure between a couple of shapes and Paul was able to talk me through them. Definitely get in touch, hes not going to shoot you down!

Senior if it felt a touch bottom heavy for you and it was a pinger why on earth didn't you just get in touch and talk to me about it and I could have done something to alter that. That's part of what I do, I hate people not being totally happy when all it takes is a chat to sort it out. I generally get it pretty much spot on but obviously I'm not going to please everyone but I will do everything I can to do so.

I can vouch for that, I found my Gold Sovereign butterfly a little bottom heavy the first season I had it, I got a little carried away, but I sent it back to Paul at the end of the season and he did a great job reducing it (as much as the profile would tolerate) along with a refurb and now it's spot on for me - and I'm a bit of a weed frankly  :)

My gold sovereign is awesome, in fact I'm keeping an eye out for any similar clefts Paul puts on his Facebook group. There was one the other day but I missed it I think.
