Diagonal Grains
« on: June 28, 2010, 11:30:30 PM »

One of my club mate has Ihsan bat and it has around 12 grains which are diagonal nad are half heartwood. The face is really clean and grains are dead straight (diagonally). If those exact grains were straight then it would have been a G1 for sure.

So when I looked at it I was wondering that was that done by cleftmaker/batmaker intentionally (to make grains diagonal) or cleft was like that?

By the way, it is Ihsan 303 bat (I believe its lowest bat in there range or second lowest not precisely sure)

Would be from a tree which had grown at an angle rather than straight up.

Does a straight drive go through extra-cover?
