This bat has been out there for a while now and wondering if we had reviews done over here?

That looks like it would be badly balanced, very much reduced hitting area too.

It's 3" shorter Mike, so I wouldn't say its very much reduced in terms of hitting area. It's similar to a Joker in dimensions.

But the next 3 inches are nothing, then the weight kicks in, my eyes weigh that up badly, how about yours?

I don't think it would pick up that well either - not for me.

I think it looks more like the mongoose to the naked eye - looks as is if it picks up like a railway sleeper on the end of a cocktail stick.
