A bat leaves Jalandhar only after somebody has hit it

The cleft is graded wet, pressed for as long as the grain asks for rather than a fixed week, then handled: mallet work along the edges, a ball on the toe, a look down the spine under a raking light.

Anything that rings wrong goes back to the bench. What ships is the bat you saw in the photographs, at the weight printed on the listing, not the closest one in the pile.
