I have a long blade, im only 6ft though. I just dont like bending down to tap the bat on the floor.

I probably should have mentioned that I'm 6ft 4 so its not really out of choice

I'm 6'3 and use SH, LB or LH.
I do have some LH and LB, but am more than happy to use SH as I got on well with most sizes.

I have a lot of injuries and a long bladed bat is great for me or anyone with a bad back as you dont have to bend down and hurt yourself getting at the low balls!!! I am five feet nine inches tall. i know a lot of guys who play with long bladed bats with short handles.

i'm 6'4 and for some reason use a short handle.... just don't want to get rid of my current bat!

Post by: armie on May 29, 2010, 10:47:29 AM

I am 6 foot 2/3 and am use Short Handle, however I do have a Long Blade bat and I do feel a bit more confident with it when keeping out the yorkers.

If anyone is after a Long Blade bat I have a very nice one for sale. PM if interested.

Long blade, I have to hold a SH/normal blade right up the handle and I don't feel I have the touch if I do. At 6'3" it means I can stand straighter which helps keep me on my toes.
