I know what you mean Richard! Normally long handle and blade bats are smaller in profile due to the extra length of blade.
But this is still huge and I weighed the bat twice on my digital scales to double check!
Mind you, I know this bat looks stunning with the ruler-straight grains, but it will still need to perform seriously well to get into my match kitbag! The bats in there currently are:
- Black Cat Shadow
- Talisman Perfect Storm
- Laver & Wood Firefly Carbo
- Redback Allegiance Hybrid
All 4 above bats have exceptional performance and have set the standard sky high! To put this into perspective, my Screaming Cat Professional hasn't made it in there yet!!
Therefore this Chase bat will have to be on the same performance level as these bats. But I'm actually confident it will be!
