The other thing is that while attacking the bastard sword resistance is kind of more than the claymore sword. When you attack the enemy with the bastard sword the impact is more so when you try to attack again then it will take more time to recover and attack back on the enemy.
Whereas in the claymore after an attack you will hold your ground still so it makes it easy to attack again. After that, the bastard sword design is less attractive than the claymore design and pattern.
