Busy with my video review of my B3....will be out in a day or two and will put a link to it in here...who else has a B3?
I really like mine....some negatives..but over all she is very nice...2lbs 14oz of fury....( i think im going back to a heavy bat...light ones are for girls...and guys who like it on the back foot.. 8)
-
Procricket, Tim2000s, Cover_Drive and tushar sehgal; are few who I know have a B3...
Looking forward to your B3, I do like the one I have. I opted out for bespoke option and it is certainly what I wanted.

Hammer asked "who has it?" not "who owns it" ;) :D

Yes I have one and so does Roco. Mine is okay. Still needs some knocking in, and reminds me a lot of GM in terms of pressing. It has had a couple of nets but do far hasn't blown me away. I'm looking forward to getting into the oval nets with it.

I've watched your net videos Jason. Looks like you struggle with the cross bat shots. I think a 2'7 is in order :D

Does anyone know what their 3 stripe promise is?
I had seen it on a tweet before
"We can't guarantee 50 ave,we can guarantee a gun with our 3 stripe promise!" 19th Jan B3 Twitter
-
they would have a hard job is promise a 50 average with some of the forum members batting

No idea. Don't think it was around when i made a purchase.

Roco ended up selling his.
I agree with you in terms of pressing, very slight difference. Whilst I like mine and am getting on nicely but it still hasn't reached its optimal point.

CD yours will be ready by your 40th Birthday, the amount of bats you have mate.
Pressed harder then i assume, all the GM's i had were, anyway.

And here she is...ready for your criticism... ;)

Were you testing out the ping on the back net as well ;), looks like that got well knocked in!
-
front foot bully :D
-
Off topic but Jason what pads are you wearing? Are the morrant international?
-
Nice vid Jason. Quite informative, in regards to B3 and their offerings.
Just a thought, perhaps you could do a follow up that is more in line with your other reviews, give people a few close ups of the bat, a little more insight into its shape, feel etc.
Anyways thanks for the vid. It looks like you've got yourself a nice bat!

An interesting watch Jason, I noticed at around the two minute mark, you toed one and it looked like you had the same issue I did with mine, as your bottom hand was off the handle like it had received an electric shock... Care to comment?

I reckon these B3s are actually the worst bats to toe one with. i've never felt something so uncomfortable! I want to try one of those... Pinging of the toe...

someone asked me an interesting question on facebook i thought i would post it here as im sure people are wondering...
Q: is this bat hard pressed
A: I havent touched this bat with oil or a mallet...and in two net sessions against the bowling machine and 1 with cricket balls it goes very well...not even a crack in sight...edges are still perfect even though i edged quite a few that had a touch of away swing that were there to drive..
as we all know Streaky is from GM so are the bats pressed like they were at GM...its hard to say...ive had gems from GM and Dudds..Here is a review of some other bats but also including a rather crap GM 1885 that was sent back to me twice by two different customers..
cricket store online HD 720p cricket bat face off with GM Hammer B3 and slazenger cricket (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HheecHrkZ9Y#ws)
its pinged up horribly and figured i couldn't ship it out to another customer...so thought i could get some fun out of it and use it in the nets.....it turned out to be one of my favorite bats in the net that day...it played so so well.....Moral of the story...sometimes customers are not always right and the right set of circumstances need to occur for a proper ping text...
A: they type of ball is very important.
B: how you hold the bat is also important..
C: make sure you are hitting the ball in the sweetspot to properly check the ping..

My GM Icon+ comes last in the hammer and ball ping test. Go use it in a game or net with it and it's a great bat. I can only think it's the way they are pressed.
-
Off topic but Jason what pads are you wearing? Are the morrant international?
Yes Morrants...the lightest and most comfortable that look somewhat decent...the aero pads are horrible looking..

pinging a bat and actually using it in the nets are two very different things...i can only hope that using all these bats in the nets will help me become a better judge of a bat overall and can better assist my customers in picking bats..

Just been battering my B3 and I think I was a little disingenuous towards it. It feels lovely bouncing the ball on it. Need to get it in a net again on Friday.

Found this, which I think some will have seen before:
http://youtu.be/Nd2T0f0DH0M (http://youtu.be/Nd2T0f0DH0M)
What's interesting is that even though the measure the density of the clefts, they don't always get a bat of the weight they are expecting out the other end. I think that demonstrates just how non-uniform the underlying natural material actually is...

Is that 1885 up for sale Jason when I do the gm bat thingy it says that is the bat I should have
