To concave, or not to concave
« on: December 29, 2010, 10:29:28 PM »


Whats everyones thoughts on Concaving?

i can see its good points if you consistently hit the ball out of the dead centre......

do most people choose a bat with or without concaving??????

i think i prefer my bats with as little concaving as poss and would rather a nice big spine than huge edges......

I'm with norbs on this one. It's trendy but not really necessary as you can achieve the same without it....

Look in one of his ask the batmaker threads.

I think if bat is pressed nicely then moderate concaving should be there for good balance and speed.

Not bothered at all as long as:
(1) the handle is the way I like it,
(2) the pick-up is good, and
(3) Middle taps up fine
