The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

I do find that there are certainly good and average handles irrespective of the shape and size.
I have found that Warsop make excellent handles but unfortunately my Warsop bat weight is too light.Also my Laver handle is the absolutely perfect size and lovely to grip but I cant get along with the carbon handle.This really pissed me of as the Laver is quite an incredible blade and would have to be sold just like the Warsop.Also have a Baronet which has the thickest and most oval handle imaginable which I cant use.Another desperately unlucky buy for me!

Warsop handles are top notch and as is the one on my Talisman. Although the warsop felt a lot bulkier but was probably the better size.
On the subject of handles, you don't see too many handles with 2 springs, apart from Mr Millichamps bats. Is this a preference thing or is just simply down to costs of handles??

I think Slazenger bats have best shaped oval handle and are most comfortable to grip. Other brands like GM & GN handle shapes vary 2 much. I use to play with lot of Pakistani bats but didn't like the shape of a single handle, although the quality of Pak bat handles was good but shapes weren't good. Handles were always 2 thin at the bottom and really thick at the top. I stopped using Pak bats because of the handle issues and now use mostly Indian and some English bats.
