Picture quality is amazing, good work Alan. Bat looks very nice, what is the blade length?

The blade length is 54.5 cm from the corner of the shoulder to a line level to the bottom of the toe.

Newbery do not make it very clear the Kudos has a shorter blade, although I was aware of this prior to purchase.

It is noticeable visually when lining up to other SH bats. At least 1cm.

Haven't tried the bat yet.

@AlanB What type of camera did you use to take the pictures? They make the bat look Stunning!

I would go so far to say this might be your profession!?!

It's only a fiver more on ProDirect and that's their normal price - may as well wait for the new stickers IMO

Camera is a Sony Alpha SLR, used a 50mm lens for these photographs. Am strictly an amateur photographer.
