The opinion of coach Darren on my new bat.
Softball practice on Clapham Common yesterday. A sight easier for me to get to than Finsbury Park (one bus ride away).

WD was saying how wonderful the new bat is over the 'phone the other evening - all 30lbs of it!!

That would be 30 oz. Not quite the same thing. I can cope with a 3 kg sword, but 30lbs would be a bit much, even for my mighty thews (what is a thew, anyway?).

thew (n.)
A well-developed sinew or muscle.
Muscular power or strength. Often used in the plural.

[Middle English, individual habit, virtue, strength (sense influenced by sinew), from Old English thaw, a custom, habit.]
----------------------------------------------
thewy adj.

So now you know! Thewy just sounds daft though, and to be perfectly honest, rather weedy - thews is far more impressive to us delicate fragile females...

*simper*

"THEWS!"
