Thought I would post a pic of my two best bats - one some of you have seen, one you definitely haven't (Apart from Dean).

Bat 1
B3 3-Stripe Bespoke I brought from SimonMay. An absolutely gorgeous piece of willow - Blemish-Free, Grains through the toe etc. Edges are ofsted to the middle, creating a bigger sweetspot. Superb bat, best I have ever owned.

Bat 2
Second is a bat which I was given as a present from a father of a son I teach. It was given to him by a Notts batsman called Alex Hales. One of his many, many bats which he is given/made - but this one is from Choice Cricket, not made at the GM factory. I sent it to be refurbished and Vantage very kindly donated some stickers for it (Once they saw the bat for themselves of course). It has a ridiculously light pickup and a stupidly high number of grains!

Did they run out of 3 stripe stickers looks like a one and a two.
Lovely couple of bats mate
-
Yeah. Simon is getting me the three stripe label for it as they ran out for him.

Bats look great but is there a reason other than a typo that it says 'Hancrafted' rather than 'HanDcrafted'?
-
Maybe it was crafted by a man called Han?

The b3 bat looks perfect,,,how does it play?

Maybe it was crafted by a man called Han?
Or a woman called Hannah?

Off the mallet - incredibly well!
I'm in two minds whether to keep it or not. It's a great bat but not sure how much use it will get

Han-Solo with a light sabre?! Reckon I could get away with that explanation?! Lol

Major oversight on the sticker front! Lol

Han Solo never used a light sabre, his weapon of choice was a blaster pistol, but it looks too well finished for that ;)

MAJOR mistake! They were free but didn't realise they were designed by a dyslexic!

Did the hales bat come with GM stickers?

Originally, Yes. Flare ones but they were pretty messed up so were removed.
