FAQs
Who should use a Long Blade cricket bat?
Long Blade bats are ideal for taller players (roughly 185+cm and above), or anyone who prefers a bit more reach without compromising feel. They’re also a good option if you want to stay deeper in the crease or get low to spin.
Does the Long Blade add weight to the bat?
Not significantly. The pickup remains light thanks to the Nova’s balanced profile. You’ll get extra length without making the bat feel sluggish.
