Would be very dodgy if they weren't actually using the said techology?

(Fully expect "no, it would perfectly OK" responses.)

Will be a tough sell to international pros if they scoring runs with the conventional handle bat

Muyeye's just got a double ton for Kent. Pictures suggest he's reverted to using a Vapour.

Alick Athanaze opened the batting for WI the other night against SA and was using a Neocore stickered bat....

Seemed to bat longer than in the Test matches against Eng!  :D

Shots did sound slightly different, maybe slightly higher pitched? As with all pro bats, the ball just pings off anyway, so difficult to tell visually if any significant differences in shot result.
Noticed that prev with Muyeye in the Hundred when Neocore first released (sound pitch, but his shots did fly to the boundary rather quickly then, hadn't seen him bat before so nothing to compare against).

This (Athanaze) was the first time I'd noticed the Neocore stickered bats being used in an International match....

I doubt there is much difference but allows for heavier bats and prob they last longer too..?

Personally, I think the main difference for the pros might be the "whip" provided by the new handle, is it any different compared to standard spliced handles.

The pros get the pick of the ultra-low density clefts anyway so their bats are gauge-fillers anyhow, don;'t think this technology will help much in that sense for the pros.

The whole weight issue is more likely going to be more catered to the paying public, where denser clefts prev not used are now used and brought down to a manageable/sellable weight while still providing the sought-after large edges/gauge filling - in some ways, using stock that would not be desirable.

Then there is the whole debate about whether size (rather than mass) = performance anyway. But I don't want to get involved.

This is why it would be dodgy if pros were using conventional bats sickered as Neocore?

Wouldn’t be that dodgy. With most top level sport the pro’s aren’t wearing/using off the shelf gear, just made to look like what the consumer buys.

I think a lot of ppl will be out off by price and heavier weights regardless of pick up
