Out of interest, what's the reasoning behind the shorter blade at 5ft 8"?

I'd always gone for short handle but having watched this years ago it made me think and  I started using a super short handle / academy size. I found it suited me better.

The shorter blade is not dissimilar to the academy size essentially

Isn't it still a short handle size overall though?

Well if SLD buys a keeley as well I am sure he can confirm if they are still TK made...

Watch this space...

Yeah the standard B14 is SBLH.

Cheers Buzz.

I've taken the leap and gone for a B14. I wasn't sure about the concaving on the B4 and wanted a fuller profile. I was tempted by the B1 without the duckbill toe but standing at 5'8 tall I decided to go with the shorter blade of the B14 at around 2lbs 9 - 10

I'll let you know how it works out.

Am eyeing up a Keeley 074 and will be interested to see how they compare.

Hi, I have both and imho the B14 has a much more generous middle and pings better than the 074. They feel like very different bats.
