It leaves soft spots if not correctly done ---- so for example some may have a soft toe [others on here can confirm or deny for real world examples]

Cheers.

Another questions;

Why do bats have bow? What are benefit of bow and does it affect the sweetspot length/position by any chance?

Andy - perhaps you would explain MMI the centre of percussion and how they relate to the sweet spot on a bat

A bit of background info - I've got a Honours Degree in Mechanical Engineering

That'll explain the Monty Python recognition. I'm essentially a MechE too...

What are your prices for the two limited edition grades you do? Answer via pm if you prefer. I need to set some budgets.

The bow I'd imagine was originally there for aesthetics. The bow effects the balance of a bat and therefore the sweetspot and it position but only a techie one the Centre of percussion

Hi Monty great 1st post.....

The centre of percussion will shift based on balance, bat weight and swing speed etc, this will move the COP, as you probably know asking a question like that, higer or lower. The same way adding grips to a handle or shaping a bat in certain way

LE is currently �220 - Inaugural Willow is POA as I get about 3 pieces in a year

Thank you - as a follow up maybe you would explain the coefficient of restitution and how, if at all, you are able to make use of it in your pressing process?

tim2000s · « **Reply #68 on:** November 23, 2010, 10:13:30 PM »

I think we did an entire thread on that previously?

Coefficient of Restitution or Apparent Coefficient of restitution Monty?

Andy might of found his soul mate on this forum with monty

Monty Bodkin · « **Reply #71 on:** November 23, 2010, 11:31:34 PM »

Interesting. I had not considered that aspect and shall ponder further. Clearly the bat hitting ball involves a collision somewhat different to dropping a ball on the bat or hitting a bat with a mallet.
So how might that be worked into how you determine the optimum press?

jonpinson · « **Reply #72 on:** November 23, 2010, 11:35:51 PM »

I think Andy has despaired of our ignorance and has created another account so he can talk these things over with someone who understands

Well if I'm honest to ask a question about Mass Moment of Interia [MMI] and Centre or Precussion is quite a clever question but you need to understand they are related as one, MMI, effects the other, otherwise you wouldn't put the 2 together. It wasn't just a wild guess or lucky question!

Saying that, then to ask a question about CoR [or ACoR] and pressing after a question like that is a bit stupid, as the answer is simple because pressing is related to rebound. So if you quote coefficient of restitution you should know this, therefore making the question like I said a bit stupid

EDIT: Monty may I was being a bit harsh here it isn't a stupid question I missed the bit about "If at all" so I appologise

Please combine this answer with the answer to your second question re: Optimum pressing
