Some of the pics make the blade look shorter... Can you measure the blade length? Just curious. Or maybe they only look that way on my iPad

I have no idea the blade length on any of my bats

The blade is standard length. Just the way the pics are taken.

You may be right ... KG guys call it pro grade willow.
I thought oversized cleft and  lightweight cleft may be one and the same
This bat is as big as my lekka RDX big hitter , but weighs 4 oz less and is of standard SH dimensions

I would say lightweight cleft then. I have a couple of bats that are 2-3oz lighter than the machined dimensions were supposed to bring them out to.

An oversized cleft is typically 70mm+ in spine height, as wrights don't produce a cleft bigger.

I love my kg mate I think sourced by yourself.

Mine is a big piece of timber too and after it re balance and reduction still came

That looks nice

Something of a whopper...Though like some I look at al these 2'8 beasts and wonder what the hell it would look like at a 'proper' weight of 2'11 ;) Probably just no concaving but still.

Makes you think how much of it is drying and how much is genuine low density willow. Only time will tell...
