I guess firstly depends what level you can bat at, will it make a difference ?

What are you scoring at the moment ..

What is your level ?

What is your average ? What level do you bat at ?

What bats are you using out of interest ?

I'm struggling to understand why any of this matters when considering using a scuff sheet

Because if you are averaging 50 already I do t think it will matter but if you are averaging 10
And a couple more boundaries and psychological factor advantage it may mean you double your average

It’s very unlikely you may be considering it if you are averaging high already ..

Deciding whether or not to use a scuff sheet is based solely on preserving the life of the bat, it has nothing to do with anyone's level of technical ability or average.

Jonny's toe guards are so much better than the usual rubber ones you get, I can't even feel where the toe guard starts because it has been finished so smoothly.

Second that, all my bats have toe guards by jonny. Don't crack or fall off. Highly recommended!

This is the sort of thing I mean yesterday, just stop and have a short think before you press sent...

There's posting an opinion I don't agree with, and then there is sidetracking threads with nonsense posts.

In all fairness mate, if you're averaging 10 then the least of your problems is 'scuff sheet or no scuff sheet'! 😆

Someone who is not performing will look for answers from anywhere for increased performance and ping

One for the scientists out there - doesn't a scuff sheet only change the feel of a bat's performance, not the bat's actual performance itself?

I didn't like the Newbery Hammer Edge sheets because it felt like I didn't get much feedback when playing shots, but the bats were no less powerful than any other I have used.

Having used both you make probably the most pertinent point about feel
On contact

The feel on Co tact with fibre is more direct and raw

In my opinion, a scuff can add up to half of an ounce.
I don't use a scuff sheet, don't like to add extra weight and for the feel.

This doesn't make sense at all!

It's quite simple, if scuff sheets of any variety reduced performance then pros wouldn't be using them would they...

That’s a very fair point

Which goes back to if you are looking for more ping without is it because you think you will score more runs …

Thats my point. People focus on the wrong things. Fet a bat which is made right, feels and concentrate on improving your technique/skill/strength. Whether you have a scuff sheet or not won't make you a better player. If it makes a difference mentally to you're outlook on batting, then you may need to work on the mental aspect of your performance also imi
