GM Academy??

or buy a Small Mens size bat like I did. The blade is the same length as a normal SH bat and the handle is 12mm shorter. The blade is only 3-4mm narrower. But the bat has a massive profile for a bat that is 2lb8oz (dressed-up) with very little concaving and 40mm edges.

My 'scooped' Ayrtek is 2.6 with 34mm edges. Unusable though :(

Usually use about a 2.8 but my Uzi had an amazingly light pick up yet weighed 2.14. Wouldn't want to try a harrow just for its lightness but more to do with the fact of whether an adult weighted harrow might actually improve performance as likely to get a larger middle as a result.

I've often wondered about getting a harrow, when you check the prices of the mongoose the harrow versions are far cheaper so it would be a cheap way of trying one out. I guess for me the main reasons not to try this would be that I'm 6'3 and prefer a heavy bat about 3 lb.
