Title: 525mm Blade Length Bats
Post by: Jimbo on September 14, 2021, 05:15:23 PM: Bit of a niche question but does anyone know of any other bats besides the GM Kaha that were made as standard with a 525mm long blade?

Have had a fair few bats made up in this length and a huge fan of it but haven't found many examples of stock bats with the blade shortened as much as 3cm. Hoping CBF's collective wisdom can satisfy my curiosity!

Think the Joker is one inch shorter, one inch longer - so very close but not quite a 525mm length! Not a clue on the B20...

Any chance you could grab your measuring tape and see what they come in at?

Thanks mate, so my rudimentary maths says about 50mm shorter?

If you zoom in, there is a tape measure next to the bats.

Thanks mate, believe I've seen those before. I'm specifically trying to find out if the 3cm shorter blade had been done more widely as it's become a bit of a favourite of mine.

The Blitz is close to what you are seeking. Maybe an older CA. I will compare some.
