Just at some feedback from Mull -
"Streaky, that bat is F'@+#ing, @#~t#g @@##\ly Awesome, please, please, please make all my bats like that"
I think he likes it, not bad for a first net!!
-
Your talking about yourself as the 3rd person gaylord!!!!
-
$64,000 question...Is it possible to make one with same weight from a lower grade (dibs if so!)
-
What density cleft was that beast Davey??
-

just quoting what he said. That said, Streaky makes an awesome bat ;-)
-

That was 365 Density - we can do it, only trouble these are over sized clefts, so to get one of these at that low density, in a low grade and over sized... like rocking horse ....... Although not impossible (could this be the start of the 1 stripe crown)......

You'd get an order from me if it was... I don't particularly care what my bat looks like as long as it performs and has a good volume/weight ratio.
-
i'll pay good money for a 40mm edge, 72mm spine bat in 2.10.
Not bothered about looks, just the handle being fat and oval.
How much for one?

Check out B3 Twitter - Mulls bat is on their (also instagram). We've made a few replica's up today which are in production - Dave will be adding the photos shortly.
Details of the bats (weights / grades) will be up tomorrow as we have only just fit the handle in 3 out of the 5.

High middle with plenty taken out at the top? Will be very interesting to see a standard 400 density version, I imagine it will be 2'13 roughly? Like everyone else, an ugly 350 density version would be perfect for me ;)

Hmm...350 density with butterfly willow finished at 2'11 with little to no concaving 41mm edge and 70+ spine.....now i can dream... :)

the bat next to it is a 35mm edge 60 mm spine same weight
-
You know...I have spent this entire last quarter of 2014 and early 2015 no having spent any money on bats for myself,,,,got close with Aldred but the money conversion rates stopped me,,,and now you guys are really really really testing my resolve :(
That is a cracking size for a bat...
-
We can get the spine higher as well or looking into it it is a monster and picks up so well. I suspect we might have a new pro shape Mull will now only use this
-
PS for all who wanted a 2-10 one get in touch with streaky there is one being made up
-
I will give you 80 pounds and a toffee crisp for it! :) Stunning bat!
-
Looks a monster. Would love to get my hands on one
-
I'm sure it looks even bigger in the flesh!
-
How long do these low density cleft bats last? Longer than normal density class?
-
My 1271 has lasted 2 seasons and around 2500 runs mate still going Just.
Most of my bats are between 365-380 mate and found no issue with the others either compared to normal density bats...
-
As i was alluding to on another thread it not a normal cleft and low density and you can create almost anything.
I saw a cleft the other day and it weighted around 2-10 in it cleft state ridiculous
-

On that evidence if I bought one it'd last me a lifetime! :(
-
I agree, that's an outstanding two seasons of cricket!
Lovely bat too.

A lot better mate hope you had a good Xmas and new year :)

Looks nice . Are they pressed differently or only shaped differently .
Does look similar to 2015 ca bats shape .
May be with stickers will give a better idea

You serious I've never seen ca bats that look like this

Pressed the same as all our bats individually and shaped differently ??? Streaky designs the cad pal it goes on the machine and Neil handles them and Gav and the boys finish...
Not seen any CA with 72mm spine mate.
-
Sorry if I offended anyone with ca remark
I said similar shape and not same shape.
I have seen many 2-10 ca bats with 40 mm plus edges and 65 mm spine.

Also may be with stickers it will look different
-
No mate Ca make fine bats but have a look at this angle very different in most senses We do not do big bows and if you look the edge are different and so is the spine so in truth so is all the profile
Big difference in 65mm and 72mm spines pal but your right will get one snickered up to show you mate.

-
I guess send me one and I'll compare it properly ;)
-
The other difference is the willow quality of a B3 and how much care is take reducing the moisture to lower the bat's weight. I have a ugly all heartwood bat i posted about a week ago, that is 2.8 with 40mm edges and 70 mm spine and significantly more scooping. Due to it's lower cost and Indian origin part of me thinks it's weight reduction was done in a furnace or incinerator ;). Love the look of this bat.
-
Great looking bat - very imposing.

...and the possibility that the CA has a Academy sized blade.
-
Presuming B3 just trim and shape the shoulders this is the best comparison I can manage in paint, similarish maybe, but not identical. Maybe someone with access to GIMP or photoshop could do a proper overlay to bring us up full bat geek speed.

I just want to know what is similar really???
edge profile different, middle position different, and size different (infact please can somebody tell me what is the same.
I guess working with streaky and seeing the subtile changes every day there is certainly no comparrison at all in either bats,
Ps although paint has made look simiar size truth me there not 72mm spine show me any CA with that spine..
This bat was designed in house by Mull and streaky and no Ca has ever been near the factory.
And the two pictures are not in the right ratio either the ca is slightly turned to make it look bigger trust me i know all the tricks look at the ca you can see the face sticker never trust a bat size if you can meaning it is not flat.
I could get streaky to cad that bat but i suspect 38mm edges and 63mm spine maximum and shorter blade.

It's pretty difficult to say just from two pictures but i imagine if you overlayed those two shapes they'd be near identical. I don't think anyone suggesting you and the B3 guys have just copied a CA bat, but it's pretty unlikely any remotely tradition bat shape is going to be new, given there's only so much you can do with them.
-
Nope i do not see what your saying???
I have never seen a Ca and i have seen a few and had a few pro ones off my mate and none have been anywhere same size or shape as the Mullanator
Nothing similar concaving or anything it like saying it closer to a Legend by GN??
if you put them side by side you would see a massive difference i have seen this bat and a Ca.
You can not make this bat from a normal sized cleft.
-
there will always be SOME similarity with SOME other bat ... bats have a finite mix of good designs after all
-
Got me panicking now b4 the season starts, cos I think my eyes have gone???
I can't see much difference between the CA and the 'mullinator'?
I'm off to specsavers sharpish

I'll try not to let this take over the thread, but...
There may be a difference in blade width, edge size, spine size and so forth, but it's undeniable that the overall 'shape' is similar, don't make me get home and dust off Photoshop to prove that ;)
-
Can we stop with the CA stuff please. There are probably a lot of bats that "might" have a similar profile but probably not the same minimal concaving.
-

Not sure if you have seen many CA bats , many models have minimal concaving.
Again this whole ca discussion was only an observation that the first thing this shape reminded me was a ca 2015 bat and nothing more than that.
72 mm spine and 40 mm edge size for 2-10 is impressive and all credit to b3 to provide that possibility to consumers.

I guess most of you might want to go to specsavers

As i said both have a handle and made out of English willow never judge by it side look at most aspects different toe going through the toe.
Also one has about 7oz extra wood in it yet is only 1-2oz heavier !!!
Reason i get irritated because i know streaky worked with mull for 10 hours or so to get this right.
-
As different as chalk an cheese. Lol
The Mull has a more pronounced spine and jus lovin how the edge swells
-
From the side profile photos they do look like very similar bats but when you look at the profile from the toe up they are very different bats, one is champions league the other scrapes in at league 2.
The B3 with minimal concaving with 40mm+ edges and 70mm+ spine you are simply not going to get a bat like this very often and definitely not off the shelf.
-
Was this designed specifically with mull in mind Dave or did he pick one up and decided this was his new profile?
-
Remind me if warners grays ............... Joking don't shout.
Looks a beast. I need on nowwww
-

He designed it mate specially mate with streaky took ages too and a good few clefts.
It is the biggest spine we have ever done and initial reports he is happy with it. Hard to get low density oversized clefts we struck lucky
We also made a smaller version which i'm considering getting as we can also make a light version of it.
There a few made hopefully get more oversized clefts to make a few more ..

The mullinator versus ca 10000plus

my wooden spoon is placed on the highest point on each bat. And the level shows the spine is much higher on the b3.
Max spine height position is a tad lower on b3 to.
edges. CA has thicker edges at shoulders and toe. B3 has thicker edges at middle(all by a few mm. Not much but still a difference)
CA has the spine continue into the toe. B3 does not.
Similar concaving.
CA is a tad shorter in length. And a not as wide (about 2mm)
Chalk and cheese imo

That is a good comparison.
Now we need a new topic for ur b3 beast
-
Mine is just the same as the ones Procricket posted. But a tad heavier cleft.
Think it was one of the test pieces. As it's a lower grade bat and I got it at a great price .
have to say the pick up is ridiculous on it. Feels far too light for me strangely.
Oh and I also ruined it. As I'm running a full fibre scuff sheet.........
-
A very quick video showing size vs a b3 db1. And a quick ping test.
B3 1 stripe mullanator pro test: http://youtu.be/BjUtW55tkps (http://youtu.be/BjUtW55tkps)
Feels good and pick up is ridiculously good
-
Just when you pick it up to bounce the ball off it, it looks massive! Is this one 2.14? Sounds very nice
-
2.13..... so a tad light to the rest to my collection. But for the price a bargain!
-
Got me panicking now b4 the season starts, cos I think my eyes have gone???
I can't see much difference between the CA and the 'mullinator'?
I'm off to specsavers sharpish
You been yet!!!! :D
Trust a man who sees the amount of bats i do pal and once you use cad and see the effects with bats you know what you know
As for this i will post a few more for sale in lower grade think there a 1 and 2 stripe
Great bat Chris
-
When you use it and realise it's too light let me know! ;), any chance you could post a toe up pic?
Also is there much of a bow to the blade?
-
Dave you have my interest!
Please remind me the price of a 1 stripe and let us all know the weight? :D
-

Sorry. Just used this in tonight's club nets. Wow! Ping is ridiculous. More than makes up for the tad lightness. Unfortunately for you jb!
There is another there in this weight.......
Try and get a pic tomorrow.
And cam. There's 2 more there in 2.10......
-
£150 i do believe
I tapped them all up including Chris last week when i picked something up different.
Here a couple of pictures to wet

2.10 you say??
Assuming that's naturally finished, by the time I add a scuff sheet and play around with the grips that'll be about the right weight!
-
Both on the left available both 2-11
blue spot £150
Red spot £240
what left currently
Wish we could get a 2-8 one made up shame thee no cleft available for me!!!!

Great bat Chris
Booked in at the Manchester eye hospital for my yearly check up before the start of the season
Coupla things Dave,
Love your passion for bats
And I'm chuffed to see a UK company selling decent amounts of bats,
And also, after 35 yrs of working with cad cam, both as a programmer/draughtsman and as a service engineer originally in the aerospace industry and latterly in the furniture production industry, I'm well aware of what a machine can do.
