very nice. Was that an off the shelf product or did you have to have it custom made? 36mm edges on a harrow is rare in my opinion, as is 2'10 weight.

No got it off ebay. Really pleased couldn't believe the size of it when it arrived, just feels like a normal adult bat. Bargain too as got it for £50! Full size retails at £195 so can't go wrong really.

Why not buy a custom harrow at an adult weight with a long handle?

Ah! That's a Joker...

Didn't want a short blade, long handle combination. Loved the Uzi I owned but the long handle just seemed to get in the way as I grip my bat fairly low. Could have got a custom made but thought this was a bargain. If it works out I'd definitely get one custom made next time.

I agree, the short blade long handle combo felt add to me on my kippax, much happier with the H4L SH on a harrow length. Might be a height thing...

I know, so makes £50 a steal. If it proves to be as good as an adult bat then using a harrow could be a way to get a quality bat at a cheap price.

Just thought I'd give an update on how my trying out a harrow size bat is getting on. I've not noticed any difference in the size in the nets and the willostix stick is going very well. A few mates have tried it out and are impressed, although I've not told them its a harrow,  just that its a shorter blade like my Uzi.

A mate of mine visited Hawk recently and he saw some of the bats they had made for James Taylor. They were all in a harrow size!
