Great topic to start as i dont really have a clue as to what cleft requires what pressing etc, etc....
I would imagine the ideal pressing the average Joe Public would be between performance and longetivity.
Ive got a Salix and just seems to play better and better but the toe is absolutely awful. Ive got a feeling it will break around the toe area this year.  :(

Enough pressing to create a hard top layer but maintain a soft underlayer...
Worth an A- surely Norb?

Leo you can have a B+ :-) an A answer would have been a bit more geeky quoting surface stiffness depths :-)  But that is the jist of it, for pressing very difficult to do mind you and therefore you have to knock in to finish it up

GJ strange on the Salix front for the toe is it a bowed blade?

It is a bowed blade, and was extremely careful when i first used it. Always keep tape on it now when i use it as i think it would break otherwise...

But it is odd and cracks have started to appear on the bottom of the toe.

Any particular reason this may be Norb?

Pressing....

The best would be to provide the minimal thickness of compressed face able to withstand the rigours of match play. Hence the theory that the 2 piece face only compresses on the thin strip.

Soft pressing does not equal more power, it reduces the power. If you ask your bat maker to soft press your bat and he says he has either he does not know enough or he is telling a white lie. There is an optimum pressing in each cleft, a peak on a power graph if you need to visualise it, the peak will move around for clefts and so the aim is to assess each cleft before pressing and hit that peak.

Why do pros bats have such big profiles then, is that only due to density and not pressing?

hmmm very good Talisman - would you say the power graph is a general exponential growth graph

represented by y =k exp(ax)(3)

Where y is the dependent variable, k is a multiplying constant so depth of stiffness, a is a positive constant so the willows elasticity and x is the independent variable pressure applied

There are other bat makers and cricket bat researchers on here that could answer that question for you!

skulking is good.... pressing conversation is exciting... but need more opinions to get the discussion going, I might need to bait some people out. Afterall I'm supposed to be skulking not anyone else :-)
