Might be something that does better in stores rather than online, where you can actually feel the pickup difference.

Maybe. But in my experience, most people still won't use a bat which is heavier than they think they can use, even if it picks up much lighter than it's scale weight. If they do, due to the pick up being great at first, they quickly want to revert back the first time they fail to get runs as the bats obviously too heavy 😆

Obviously the main benefit is to GN in getting heavier clefts down a little in weight and therefore being be able to sell them to mass market, who generally want 2lbs 9oz etc as this is now seen as the max it seems.

Whether talk of MOI etc gives any real performance benefits is obviously yet to be seen.

I think littoral to no benefit at recreational level .. if you can bat you can bat with most bats …

You do have a preference for sure , you like some more than others

Marketing psychology - must have latest tech to be able to hit the ball 1 yard further (sorry, with my golf cap on....), and pay £100 more, each year!!!

I must say this to every person that visits the unit, if you give Joe Root a plank he's still scoring runs.

on the subject of Joe Root's bats. did anyone clock the sheer size of them during the last test match. Broady also sold him out saying that him and Mark Wood get their from them same manufacturer so Wood likes to take the ones Root doesnt want. I cant imagine Roots bats are made by NB, any clues as to whos making these railway sleepers

And if you give me an absolute beauty I will still get ducks.

Saying that I’m still intrigued what they will be like

I believe from reading posts they will be 2.13 starting weight ..

Obviously, innovation has to be applauded and welcomed. Fair play to GN. If pick up, balance, MOI etc etc are all benefits and performance is improved. Surely all GNs regardless of the start weight of the cleft will be made this way moving forwards? Not sure why they wouldn't be tbh. Seems that the benefits would translate into lighter clefts too.

Surely they're within the gauge limits? Might explain why he's number 1 test batter tho, big bats obviously 😉

Broad might have missed that Wood is now with SG?

I noticed that the toe of Roots bat looked quite rounded. Laver-esqe?

Broad also said Root liked a SB/LH set-up. Root previously said on Sky that he had moved on from this and reverted to conventional.
