Lovely distribution of weight and clever craftsmanship. Which means the pick up feels usually half an ounce lighter then the scale weight |

More of the modern flat face design. Maximizing edge size for a more disbursed power zone and helping the player with more precise placement in their strokes. |
A more traditional round toe to a). help with the bat sliding whilst running and b). also increase durability against yorkers with the rounder shape being stronger. . |
