It�s just so the hand sits naturally on the handle, I�ve found when the shoulders are dropped there�s actually a tendency to drop your hands even further down the handle,,,using that shape means the hands are in the perfect position. Just an evolution based on use.
I spend a lot of time on making sure all my handles feel good,,such a huge part of how a bat feels and ultimately plays

Good man! You are on the right track.

Have you thought about shaving the sides a certain way to better fit a gloved top and bottom hand? I wish there was a way to hold a bar of wax or clay with a gloved hand to leave the gloved-hand impression and somehow carving a bat handle based on the prints.

Look at the picture on the previous page, it shows the handle a little better.
That is perfect for the bottom hand, and the top half of the handle is always round
I�ve tried every way of doing handles and this is by far the most user friendly
Like I said, I understand how important the feel of a bat handle is

That handle looks really interesting, the concept works in theory....would like to hear from a user of your bats as to how it feels in practice. I love when bat makers experiment away from the ordinary

Lovely shape as always mate and the finish looks quality

Hmm, it�s a proper low middle shape on this, I�ve got two to do,, not a fan tbh, but they are copied from a customer bat.
I�ve struggled to get it to pick up how I like them,(his bats certain Taunton brand) but this picks up a lot better than his bat so he should be well chuffed
2.10 finished

@Northern monkey the 1st couple of pics didn�t show the middle as low as you have shown and agree not my favoured shape but again the quality of the bats and and the finish is superb
