The bad boy got delivered today. First thing i did was put it side by side with my SS. They both have very similar profile and pickup so quite happy. SS is little bigger and less concaved, SS weighs 2.9.1 and H4L at 2.8.4.
Ping - H4L sounds little different than SS, but pings great for a new bat.

I was little worried about the shorter blade, but as many have said, you hardly notice it.

Only thing I am not too happy about is the handle. Its little skinny and I guess that was done to keep the weight down. May replace the grip with a ripple grip.

Hard to get less "scooping" when asking for a bat that's 2.8 fully finished which as a 36-37mm edge at the same time. Somewhere along the line there has to be a compromise.

Looks another stunner from @hell4leather cricket 👍

lose the handle?

lose the handle?

Doing this would upset the balance though.

CA has been doing it for years except for the SM-18 bats which have the normal SH length blades.
