Take bows I hear they help you hit over the infield, what a load of crap where you hit the ball and which hand is dominant does and how early or late you take it.
I disagree. I have found that bows help when picking up fuller deliveries and clearing fielders, something I can't do with straight bats. Maybe pros can clean hit where ever they want with a straight bat but for a clubbie like myself, bowed bats are a blessing!
The biggest difference in bats is the bloke holding it...
Luke Wright gave Ranjit bat a "2" rating out of 10. Is there something wrong with Luke Wright's abilities? As a clubbie, I will take whatever help I can get from a bat - big edges, giant bow, heavy weight, you name it. I need all the help I can get and I will happily accept it. I don't have time to practice like a Pro to become proficient like a Pro. These are artificial standards and myths that are hoisted upon mortal/clubbies by purists and we don't need them!
