Like it says in the title really - was looking around this afternoon and it seems like none of the major manufacturer now do long blades - or long handles for that matter - in any of their ranges.

WTF?

I have 3 guys on my team that exclusively play LB, and they've been buying off the shelf regularly. Have had guys pick up a couple of CA's and BAS bats in the last few months.

Kookaburra have certain models available in Long Blade, such as the Kahuna 650.

Gray- Nicolls have some 4 Star models available in Long Handle, like the Powerbow 4 Star.

GM are available in Long Handles - again certain models.

We have all of the above in stock as we as Ton Reserve Edition, Gold Edition, Silver Edition, Vertu and the Master 7000.

We also usually stock the Hunts County Caerelux in a Long Blade, but this is currently out of stock, but due soon.

I know they exsist but not having a vast choice is disappointing

Gray nicolls over here in Australia do LB in the top models too.

I've got a couple of kookaburra long blades

Funny the different markets, here in Australia we get a large range of long blades from all brands, their popularity seems to grow each season.

They definitely must be rare.

I was just referring to the normal SSH size... definitely not such a common "stocked" size

I think SSH is also called Small Mens by some brands.
@simonmay5 has a lovely Kookaburra Kahuna Pro that is in Small Mens, and the blade is full size. In fact, the only difference between that and a Short Handle is about 2cm off the top of the handle (oh, and about �200 off the price...)
