Expecting some chat about increase in performance or weight saving or even both to make it a game changer ..

Not such much a ball, but a different kind of wood core would be an interesting one. It would need to be inserted without glue so as not to contravene law 5.3.2, but that's easily done if the fit is tight. An African leadwood or something of that ilk may provide some sort of benefit I could imagine, albeit at a denser weight. Although is that not something that's been done back in the day by M&H etc? Honeycomb was it? (Would've been pre-my time on this earth so can't really comment! )

Was that the Hunts County Modulus bat? With the exposed honeycombing on the back (heard it was a bit of a plank though). Or did you mean something different with an internal honeycomb structure?

I�m enjoying the speculation it�s bringing us all. Hope it�s done the same for the non-nuffy public!

I'm thinking of the Turbo, would've been around ~2013 - was literally just a drilled hole down from the splice. Took about an oz out in weight, had quite a few in the early days and can't say I saw any negative impact.

Ha ha! If that's you, then what about the rest of us!!!!

Maybe a bat made from African Leadwood?? Never needs knocking in, and destroys balls left, right and centre! Might need to be Arnie to wield that one though.

Or a bat handle made from pure rubber - never get the dreaded vibrations from hitting those cheapo balls in the nets! Might be a bit whippy, Dhoni might take off!!!

Right then, full Nics it is

So are we all rushing out to get hold of these now?

gihanrat · « **Reply #42 on:** July 24, 2024, 10:34:10 AM »

Wonder when they will be available, and who will be the first to dissect one to look at its internals!?!

gihanrat · « **Reply #43 on:** July 24, 2024, 10:36:54 AM »

So no splice then? The handle slots into the internal scoop?

I�m buying one now I�m now looking at my gray Nicolls and wondering if they done it to any shop bats
