The bat on the left is a one piece, the one on the right is a 2 piece

The stickers are yes, but the bat in question is actually a Kookaburra Rogue Players.

Our Lion Pro bats are very good though!

To Blank Bats, the one on the right with the white grip, the handle looks like it's angled forward quite a bit, does it affect the way it plays or you play with it?

never really noticed it tbh, but it is very nice and i find it easier to just lean on a good length delivery and stay on top of it with this bat, maybe the handle helps in regards to that

I didn't take any pictures of my own bat when it was new, anywhere he's some of the bat when I was running Vantage after a seasons use. (the one with Volt stickers)

I am using the Vantage Custom(originally a GM Icon+ 2'12), as a comparison to my match bat. My bat is 2'10 and a harrow sized blade(in width and height) with a handle to make it SH length.







This cleft was picked on performance, it has 8 straight grains but it was a lovely light cleft and when it was pressed and I tapped it up I fell in love with it.

Why a harrow sized blade? Not seen anyone do that before with a full size  SH

I didn't think they were harrow in width as well though?

Amazing what you learn on here isn't it

Yeah they are, never broadcast by the selling company. Can't think why.

Yeah, I believe there are also some bigger brands that are slightly changing the dimensions of original 'SH' bats so that they can make the bats look bigger from a side profile. Maybe this can be made in to a topic to research what brands are selling truly SH length/width bats.....

However I mainly chose a harrow width because I had a BC Joker and I really got on with it - then I tried having a shorter blade with a standard SH width blade, but I didn't get on with this as much. I do think that it was mainly due to the round face compared to a flat face once pressed. It's just personal preference, and this bat has performed extremely well last season for me - a lot of people were interested in the bat, especially with the sound that it made - like a gun.

Haha sneaky buggers those forum sponsors mate

Why don't people just buy a harrow bat for less than half the price of a gull size SH and then have the handle fitted after.... Ooohhh.... Can.....Of..... Worms
