Has anyone had any experience with the sizing on Adidas harrow bats?
Picked one up from Serious Cricket on a silly pre BF offer for £35 on the premise that I could donate it to my club if it came in at toothpick weight. As it is, it weighed 2lb 6 out of the box, is up to just shy of 2lb 7 now the handle is bulked out with zinc tape and a scuff sheet attached.
Pretty respectable specs for such a light bat (35ish mm edges, 56 ish mm spine), but I've put it next to the H4L harrow I've got in reserve to replace my match bat and the blade is longer and the handle shorter, so much so that the dimensions seem more like a SSH adult bat. I'm not bothered by this as I've bought it purely as a wet weather/crap pitch bat but just curious if this is an anomaly or typical of Adidas sizing.

I think it says more about how modern adult bats are.

My daughter has a H Adidas XT white and it’s a lovely bat for the tooth pick weight of 2lb 3oz and specs are decent as well.
I would agree likely with Buzz statement. The Harrow will be probably ata fed sizing where as the adult bats could be anything

Not sure which was longer or shorter, but my son's old H4Lsize 6 was basically Harrow size (blade and handle) and just shy of 2lb 7oz ... so if the H4L was bigger then I'd say its a characteristic of H4L junior bats being 'fast developers'.

The Adidas was the longer blade, but both are the same length overall. Just a bit of a strange one!
