Title: Long handle 1" shorter blade recommendations
Post by: cumbrian-cricketer on August 14, 2017, 01:37:20 PM
Hi all,

I used a hawk xb300 at the weekend  it was 2.10 but picked up a lot lighter  it had a really long sweet spot it felt like it went from splice to toe
I wanted to ask the question is there any other long handle 1" shorter blade bats worth taking a look at before I take the plunge on a hawk.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Just in case you go with Haxk  and you dont know the the longer handle shorter  blade model is called XB 300 it replaced the X10 which I have mine was made to my specs.

A red ink custom would be a good option especially as I'm using your sorts at the moment :)

I have 2 bats with that shorter blade and longer handle configuration. Both are ridiculously responsive!
I have a Newbery Kudos (made by TK so unsure what the quality of the newest are like) and the H4L Warbird.

I am 6'3 so my mind tells me to use a long blade, but I seem to bat better with these LH, SB bats! As you say, lovely pickups and generous middles!!

I couldn't agree more Mr. Hosk. My main bat is a SB/LH and I'm also 6,3!

You may as well get a matching bat then!

The standard Warbird is a regular SH, just with a shorter blade, no?
You can have it with a long blade as an option, mind.

Regular warbird is Short handle overall, about 12 mm shorter blade compensated by a longer handle with counter balance knob

Yes - as Tom says, if it is a shorter blade and it is SH total length, then obviously handle has to be longer (due to the shorter blade)?
You can have it with longer blade if requested.  :)
