Thats what confuses me, the idea being shorter blade means more meat can be left around the striking area without affecting the overall weight of the bat.

Are you sure it is not a harrow size bat?

Fine but:

Overall length of a Harrow is: 82.5cm
Super Short:  83.8cm
Short Handle:  85.1cm

So if the length is: Handle + Blade  and AtBalour says:  "a shorter handle [3cm] and a similar length blade."

Then it will be more harrow size as it is effectively 3cm shorter overall then a SH mens

maybe its a new formula CA are using for their t20 bats?

it MIGHT be classified as a harrow, but weight wise u would have to be a big boy to pick it up!

Maybe a new formula but it doesn't make sense, I can't see any benefits!!!!!

1cm on the blade is effectively a long blade

With a handle length something in between a Size 5 and Size 6 bat

Well I'm real confused!

The Uzi that I have just got is shorter blade, longer handle. The CA2020 I got, in the same style as adam's was shorter blade, longer handle.

I don't see any advantage in a 2020 bat having a longer blade and shorter handle - no extra leverage, more weight and less meat, plus poorly distributed?

Seems odd to me.

Hi, I am using the CA 10000 plus which I personally bought from Karachi 2 Years ago. I would be highly interested in finding out where youcan make the purchase from Pakistan as you mentioned it arrived in just 4 days

As there arent many authorised CA retailers in the UK, it will be very helpful

Regards

You can get some top quality AS, AM, Malik and CA bats from Asad Qureshi of AS Sports. assports.co.uk

He was recently in Pakistan and has got a good number of bats made.

In fact he has a one awesome looking CA 10000 plus left 9out of the 2 he got) which he got from a bunch of bats made for a Pro.
