not really talking shorter blades as that doesnt come into affect that much... were as a thinner blade you are reducing the surface area quite alot ... maybe im just totally wrong on this whole thing haha i suppose what im trying to say is id rather have the weight taken off else were than have a thinner blade.
If anything, you're going to (theoretically) edge fewer deliveries behind.

i to dont understand why the blade would be thinner... id feel hard done by as when i was 14 15 16 i was playing 1st and 2nd team cricket and knowing that I am using a thinner bat than everyone else.. dont understand that tbh...
Obviously I know the weight change has to come from somewere but as others have said surely making the blade/handle shorter does this..? could you explain a bit more edward?
By having a full length blade you should be playing mostly straight bat, and learning to bat properly, even at this age. In that sense, having a thinner blade won't hinder you.

Being concerned that your bat doesn't have the girth of others' bats seems like a completely different problem...

i think you have hit the nail on the head  :(  :D.... im not saying it hinders you im just saying though you have the advantage of it being a bit lighter, you also have the disadvantage of it being a smaller area to hit the ball with its probably me just being pedantic but i jsut see it as simple science. We will just have to agree to disagree  ;)
