The TAS Bat

Tasmanian inventor Ron Searhas patented a new cricket bat design.

The bat called the TAS (Torsioned And Sprung) bat, has been approved for use by the Marylebone Cricket Club.

The new design of the bat, uses side inserts made of oak originally sourced from staves used in old wine barrels.

The staves are flattened and twisted before being inserted, retaining spring energy once inside the bat. According to Ron Sear's these inserts increase the size of the sweet spot and makes batting easier.
