 Between a MID to mid/low profile. Perfect for the player who's main game is on the front foot but still like the pull shots of the back foot. |
 No concaving with a full profile gets as much wood behind the ball even on balls that hit closer to the edge. Allowing for more aggressive play as even balls not hit in the centre carry those crucial extra few feet. |
|
|
 Lovely distribution of weight and clever craftsmanship. Which means the pick up feels usually half an ounce lighter then the scale weight |
 Comes with the modern standard level of bow which gets the bat just a tad early onto the ball. Which creates a better angle for the ball bouncing off the bat onto the grass helping it to race further, optimizing value for your shots. |
|
|
 Semi round face camber in a effort to maximize the peak of the hitting zone and also helping with the durability of the bat. With the semi round nature allowing the energy from the ball to be disbursed through the bat but the slightly flatter nature allowing for more precise placement. |
A square toe to give the batter the look of a wider bat thus giving them more confidence to middle the ball. . |
