I thought that the Joker was only length challenged, not width challenged?

Its 4 or 5mm narrower from memory.

does that not make it a harrow?

Have they rounded the edges as well, I know some bats, Bradbury for example, have sharp edges - if that's the right term for it.

I can confirm it's slightly narrower with huge edges yet not a great spine height.... Seems to go pretty well tho :)

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

The blade of the Joker is harrow width.

4mm less chances of edging the ball then!!

Bradbury will be introducing their new range for 2011 with rounded edges. No more hassle of rounding the edges or looking at dented edges

Didn't Hayden make a big thing in his book about not having rounded edges - bit off topic.

Or more chance of that squirt through gully going to the slips...

I'd never give away the inside edge of my bat, scores me too many runs to fine leg!

Likewise my outside edge - loads of runs over slips to third man!

hate to be harsh but your saying people who buy a joker are paying for what is just a harrow with big edges and long handle????

It must be the most expensive harrow ever????

By this measurement, if you buy a Mongoose MMi3 you buy a size 1 or 2 bat with a very long handle.... Must the most expensive ever if you get the Custom Pro or whatever it is called now!

In the same way that the people who buy a SH are paying for a harrow with slightly longer and wider blade, and longer handle...yes.

Well put Charlie, it's the same as people buying small mens, when almost all small mens pads are youths pads!

Tumo not quite right there mate check the sizes and check the padding used in most Youth pads you find there mainly very different indeed to small mens pads which normally use the top padding were youth tend to go with mid range padding to help with costing

The same is true of the weight and balance of the Joker, etc. versus a Harrow....
