returning is not an option considering i paid for the bat + shipping + import...that would still leave me close to 100 GBP short

What size did you buy it as?

I accept your viewpoint, but I think most don't actually notice.

So you don't think they should declare the bat is a harrow width? Or are you being obstinate as it's your 'baby'?!

It is reduced width for a very good reason, it allows the middle to be thicker and have better rebound. If 3mm off each edge is going to make the bat a problem to use then Yes it should be made aware to the buyer, but then should all the tricks of the trade be published?

Unless my maths is wrong, we're only talking about a 7% reduction in width aren't we?

Surely can't make that much difference - especially if you are a proper batsman?

Bat was promoted as an adult bat by Cricket store online and had a shorter blade, only thing we had ask for was weight which i asked for 2.11...

If it was promoted at anytime as an SH then you will have grounds to return it.

There's tricks of the trade and there's supplying different sized bats.

Let's face it, it's not a material amount of space, though would feel put out doing business with someone being deliberately disingenuous about the bat's size. Like dealing with a firm that doesn't tell you the real leather used in their gloves or sticker up blank bats with another manufacturers stickers.

End of the world? No. Are you likely to do business with them again or recommend them? No.

I have to point to far worse tricks than a simple reduction in edge width. Having designed it I had nothing to do with the brands who used it and their selling.

As for using a fake leather in gloves you think that is on the same level. Stickering up bats with anothers labels is not one I see often, do you?

Well some how this got more attention than i wanted, regardless here is the main character of this story next to the powerbow which is actually a bit bat too
