[The Doctor]

Had this blog for a while and not done anything with it but am planning to start and wanted to get your thoughts on what you would like to see.

I want to make it clear that this is not a sales tool like other blogs but more of a hobby / general interest.

Please have a look and make any comments either on here or directly on the blog - cricketbatblog.com

Views are very much my own and will add stuff when I can, if you have seen anything that you have thought "I wonder if that works" , "what does that mean" or "but does that actually work" let me know and I will try and reason it with a bit of science background rather that the marketing spin - hence the tag line - the science behind the SPIN......

Interested to know why this has been moved from the Bat topic - anybody got any idea?

Streaky you have explained lot of stuff, your views on performance and science behind it etc.. I think you can copy lot of stuff from CBF to your blog. Viewers reading the blog outside CBF can bring in fresh perspectives and queries.

Thanks a lot @The Doctor that will be great (will almost cover the shipping charges). I am trying build up funds for the Pepsi bat atm, can't wait till New year for 1 stripe clefts.

hey doc; how about blogging about the science behind butterfly's & the difference between handles types...

First article on my Blog, an article that I helped write for The Cricketer magazine on BIG BATS

Have a read and let me know your thoughts.

I'd like to know about trends in bat profiles.

Not so long ago offset edges were the rage, recently duckbill seem to be back in fashion.

What will be the next 'fad' shape and what stays consistently popular and why?

[iand123]

Even the great Gray Nicholls, one of the most revered bat makers in the history of the sport, make 75% of their bats in India, with Australia & UK (25%) and (5%) being their production centres

Presume the 75% should be 70%? (yes i am bored on my lunch break)

I'd stick with the 75% and get rid of the lst 5%..... (thanks for the edit ;-)

I read that article in the magazine, very interesting read.  It makes perfect sense that a) bats of the same weight can disperse the ball the same distance, b) more weight = the ball being hit further and c) designs have become far more efficient (basic evolution).

I look forward to reading more posts in the near future - the type of bats pros use (selecting the clefts, what that's based on, anecdotal examples of requests, etc.) and opinions on what grains are best would be good reads...

What I love about point A is that it is pure physics. And always has been. Which is why the arguments about whether certain bats hit the ball further are generally moot!
