If you are taller than 6 feet, i would go for long handle. But short handle feels better

long handle is ok, but it would probably be best to get a long blade if your taller

okay guys , it all matters on which feel comfotable and which kind of game you want to play. If you want to hit the ball like a rocket , try the longy (gilchrist). If you want to send it 10 miles then go for the short handle (sehwag).

If you are tall , then a longy would be suitable as well because you wouldn't want to be bending the like a fool.

In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage.

What about Super Short Handles?? I find the short handles rub on my wrist when playing shots and it annoys me
