What are the specs of your match bat

I'm not the best player in the world but I used 2 bats an SS jumbo and a SAF fabrica with 2 scoops taken out of like a the Dynadrive both weigh in at around 2lb 9-10oz

If you had the choice of a tool for concaving what would it be? I have the choice of buying a travisher number 4 or clifton spokeshave?

If I'm honest concaving doesn't do anything but pander to the current fashions. Does it has a place in the bat industry? Yes it does does it make a difference nope

So glad to see someone who knows confirming my suspicions. Never really understood why everything suddenly became concave.

But if you a had a 3lb bat in the traditional shape or an SS jumbo shape would concaving not be able to reduce the weight of the bat without comprising its integrity/structure and performance or am I barking up the wrong tree? Like Oscar :)

It is all about feel the SS jumbo wont feel as good as a traditional bat but that is based on shape.  So the tradtional will win in my eyes....

Why do I like the SS Jumbo - that is easy I'm a child of that era and that was the bat I wanted.... Is it any good?   In fact do I care Viv Richards used one for gods sake!!!!!!

Were you Viv or were you Goochie? That was your SS conundrum. Personally I was a bowler so a big bat and a slog and therefore the 'drive
