It’s not great although I have heard many times pros international are using less width bats too

I've got one of Finn Allen's from the recent NZ games - it's 102mm wide. Thing is bloody huge though.

Difference is the pros don't tend to need the edges like we do lol

Is that the face width? Wins the prize for narrowest I’ve heard of if so 😅

Yeah agreed, I've seen plenty around 105mm but this is probably the narrowest SH I've seen - still not particularly noticeable until lined up next to a normal width bat though.

Just goes to show that even for the pros something has to be compromised. The combination of huge specs, super light weights, massive edges, full backs, full width and height doesn’t exist most of the time. Somethings got to give.

Having said that, them SS bats sure do fly, Jatin makes a mean bat alright…

It could also be related to the fairly flexi handles the superior performance

Which also tend to break on occasion …

Whereas some uk brands have much less flex unless there has been substantial use

Personally I would hate to have a 102-103mm bat
