What the panel is really saying
Signature Josh Riley model with Worth's XL load — the middle option if balanced feels light and a full Maxload feels slow. Single scored source so far.
Players' Score — rated by players, not reviewers
Collecting the first ratings. The Players' Score is the community score: people who own this bat rating it themselves. It publishes only once this bat reaches 10 email-verified ratings — and it is always shown beside the Panel Score, never blended into it. The reviewers' verdict and the players' verdict — side by side, never mixed.
