We were going to keep this simple and offer the Butterfly grade in one shape (the DB1) and make these up (into bats) and then offer them on the Forum, but after discussing with ProCricket I think you guys wanted a bit more choice in the design. So I have had a think, and have come up with an idea of offering you more choice. Below is a few designs both Series and a few of our sponsored players that you can choose from;
(http://i61.tinypic.com/mk7p77.jpg)
Now there are two things that dictate bat weights 1. Model/Shape and 2. Density of willow, so we can say the Model is fixed when you choose from one of the above. Now the desity varies as Willow is a natural product, and as ProCricket has already said in this thread Butterfly timber is in general more dense than other grades. If we assume the same Density (400) for the above designs the weights would be;
Ref. Model Weight * based on 400 Density
A. DB1 2lb 9oz
B. DB2 2lb 11oz
C. DB3 2lb 10.5oz
D. Bragg 2lb 10.5oz
E. Mull 2lb 12.25oz
F. Wagg 2lb 12oz
G. #1271 2lb 15oz
An increase in Density of 10 increases the weight by approximately 1oz, so for a Density of 410, a DB1 would weigh 2lb 10oz, or a Density of 390 a DB2 would weigh 2lb 10oz.
So if I post a picture of a few Butterfly clefts with the Densities written on them, you should be able to work out what each shape would weigh with particular clefts and densities. We can do all of this for the same price previously quoted and you can still customise your bat (handle length & shape, sticker colour etc).
Does that make sense?

I have to say my new B3 butterflies are amazing, ended up getting two and am so glad I did, the response is just out of this world
-

We did indeed, chasing 120 in a 12 over game, we put on a 84 partnership for the 2nd wicket. Me a steady 40 of 34balls, Sam a blistering 54 of 33 balls, including 3 massive six.
This bats have an awesome repsonse, straight out the packet, Sam only knocked in the edges and toe on his for an hour. He hadn't touched the middle!

Good stuff Chris glad people are happy with them.
Mine did take a bit of time but is going well or did before my accident.

I am very impressed with all 3 bats. For the money they are bargains. And I will continue to try and push to get my entire team with a b3 in there hand!
Currently at 7 in the club. Top bats.

Grrrrrrr! I'm Braggin' it mate!
-
'DW' or Bragg for me if I was to indulge
Which cleft did you go for?
-
Can't remember - think it was 19.
Dave told me it was the best one ever, and he's as honest as the day is long!!
-
Not sure if Dave said or not, but as part of the deal it's mandatory to post a picture of the bat and tell us what number the cleft was. Otherwise you need to pay another 120!

your series bat seems to have no series stickers.
did you buy it from b3 or second hand??
-
my son ordered it in person when he was at the factory. Its a harrow and def a 2 stripe (£107 inc delivery )
unless of course he went for a butterfly and pocketed the difference haha
-
These Butterfly's looks marvellous.
-
Dave. Can you reserve me 20 and 13 please as I've sold two more today.
Will phone. Streaky Monday to confirm the order. Tah.
-
13 has sold sorry will update now sorry Chris
-
What number did I go for Dave?
-
Dave, am I right in thinking the only clefts left are the one in the pictures remaining?
-
Yes mate that is correct i need to do a full stock check with Streaky in the morning
I cant believe number 17 is still available too would make a almost blemish free face..
20 reserved...
-
Thank you.
Any idea when the next lot of clefts are coming in so I can get a back up for mine? Tah.
-
Not sure as of yet as it project time so might be a while but if you that keen the 418 would make your bat only half a ounce lighter than the one you wanted mate..
But they have so far been a great success from professional to club player liking them.
I hear you got another score yesterday Chris sounds like your getting back to full fitness mate and a nice bit of form.
-
Still not fit. But in a better place mentally. Which means I'm playing smarter cricket.
I.e not trying to hit everything.
I'd preferably.want a 420 plus cleft. But even 420-425 is on the lower scale of my preferred weight for the DW shape.
It's only.a back up.for my current so I can wait for the next batch.
-
Talked to streaky today and 20 had gone to! Doh.
Took 18 instead.
-
Yes i know i got the list today mate.
Hope the one you keep using is good will update when i get home only 13 left...
-

Some would say it's opening up! As lots of splits in the grains, but the edges have also taken a beating. Looks like a certain Aussies bat that covered in tape.......
Tbh I've been using it as a sales tool to get my team mates sold on the butterfly theory so unfortunately it's had some hammer that wasn't all my runs,
It is flying though!
-
Mine will be returning to me this week as my mate stole mine.
Mine was from same batch as your good bats at a serious good price glad your is going so well
-
Pictures and sales updated what is left is left..
I love 17.....
-
I might miss out on this lot, but will you post to Australia? I'm getting a redundancy package from work so as long as a land another job soonishly, I will be purchasing a few bats.
-
Yes we do post to Australia mate
-
17 Sold down to the last 13 now many thanks to everybody who bought i hope your happy with your B3 Butterfly at a great price.
-
These look very tempting although I've already got 3 B3's on the go at the moment. Maybe there's room for one more.. :D

Been so busy that I haven't been able to start up my own thread about a recent gem of a Butterfly I got from B3, so figured I'd take some photos and post them up here!

If you look beyond the stain, that's 7-8 very straight and even grains, and to top it off, they run very straight through the toe. (Apparently a sign that the toe is more durable) The bat is a thing of beauty, weighing in at just over 2lb 9oz when it arrived, and weighs under 2.10 with a scuff and shoe goo toe. It's the Mull profile, and made from a 368 density butterfly, so really very light for the size! The stain is just above the middle, and I feel that although it took quite a bit of hammering to level with the rest of the bat, it just extends the optimum hitting zone, as it seems to rocket right off that bit, even though it sounds a bit odd!
Anyways, a proper review of service and bat will be up sometime in the next month, when I get a proper chance to use it! Also got one of the leather bags, which for £15 are fantastic quality. Cannot recommend the B3 Butterfly more for value and quality, B3 are definitely a unique offering in the bat business!
-
Looks great Chad. And would there be any distinct advantage having the stain just above the sweetspot and near the toe?
-
I can confirm we will be having a clearance of the left overs at a great price from the 1st so keep your eyes peeled for some great bargains.
I think there around 7 left so will post up the ones when streaky confimes what is left.

Let me know when mate missed out on my preferred choice last time so want to see what all this butterfly business is about .
-
Yeah I was after a lighter cleft but if they are being cleared I may take chance on a couple of the outcasts ;)
-
Hi, would it be possible to make these into a Harrow? If so, what sort of weight difference would it make on say the #1271 shape?
-
Yeah I was after a lighter cleft but if they are being cleared I may take chance on a couple of the outcasts ;)
There not outcasts mate i would say 4 of them have been overlooked because there on density (400) yet are far superior clefts in my eyes.

I knew as soon as I said outcasts it was too harsh. I should have said overlooked. Which clefts do you think are best ones left? What's the postage to Australia?
-
My Butterfly is absolutely superb. It is possibly the ugliest of the ones I have seen posted so far, but it just taps up mentally, and I haven't really knocked it in at all. It is also the lovely Bragg shape too.
I'll get pics up when I get home, as clearly it currently doesn't exist.
Ta Dave.
-
is that an offset edge?
-
Dave, when will be rest butterflies updated here along with prices ? Have been hitting my refresh button like numerous times .
-
We are still waiting for your review Fattus . :) :)
-
Will review mines later, goes well, certainly as well as my other bats if no better. The stain is about an inch up from the toe on mines, so is obviously pretty dead, although there is a tinny sort of feel to the whole bat when hitting the ball, which I guess might be related. The stain is also raised a fair bit from the rest of the face as I presume it can't be pressed as easily being harder.
Overall it's a top price for good bat, would definitely buy another when Dave gets his grubby mits on the next pile of butterfly clefts :D
-
ALL SOLD OUT
Thank to everybody who got one i hope they serve you all well please do get in touch with any quires
