Any Ideas...
« on: January 19, 2010, 10:25:39 PM »

I brought this plain bat off Tom but it seems to be a fair bit smaller than the other Short Handle blades I have.

I attach a picture of the plain bat next to my custom made County and you can see clearly the size difference. it's the same difference against all 3 bats I have...

Maybe all your bats are Long blades? Youll have to speak with Tom.

I compaired it with 3 of my own bats pal and 4 that I am re-furbing atm too. Sent Tom a message but not had a reply so just thought I'd get other thoughts too...

Strange..........

Yehh it is a bit mate. One downside of buying bats blind over the internet i suppose.

Yer true mate - It didn't cost me the earth but even so it is a strange one. The bat is MASSIVE however and is 2.6 on the trusty Kitchen Scales

Yeh, it seemed the same length against that GM I had but maybe it is a little shorter. Perhaps we've found a new size!?

Seriously if the 1cm diff causes a prob send it back.

It shouldn't cause a problem mate but I'll use it at nets and let you know.

Like I said tho I'm not trying to be funny or anything so don't take it the worng way but I just find it really strange- haha!! How can the blade be shorter than every other 1....

Could this be the future..............

Had many bats like this from the past, my educated guess is that the bats made in india ? Bas seem to do this as well. but the handle seems longer ?

It was made as a full size and is full width, obviously it has come up a little bit short for some reason. I didn't bother getting a tape measure out when I had it, so my fault.
