I can confirm our butterfly offer will be going live on Friday with pictures and density we will have over 23 shapes to choose from and also bespoke option as well.
Friday they will be out including a few low density ones if that floats your boats
-
How much Dave and what sort of time are they coming out.
They normally sell like hotcakes and would hate to miss out ;)
-
Hopefully afternoon price I'm sorting tomorrow mate
-
Anyone in Australia wanting to combine postage please pm me.
-
Hi Dave, what's the turnaround time if one of these is bought tomorrow? I am planning on coming down on Monday but guessing it won't be ready by then?.. Thanks.
-
5-7 day turnaround I have seen some of the clefts today very happy indeed currently density is I think from 372-410
-
Love a light cleft for 2.8 Tonto Dave. Postage to australia?
-
(http://i60.tinypic.com/25jwqom.jpg)
shapes available and of course tonto and kalimaar will also be available
Please bear in mind the Mull is not the actual new mull but the old version his current mull is made with oversized clefts.
Postage i'm not 100 per cent sure of there will be a bespoke option which will cost a tad more price will be announced same time but there a good deal
Also number 5 is no longer Bragg profile he went to addidas but Waggy still uses
All picture weights are at 400 density simple rule 10 under equals 1 ounce lighter, 10 over is one ounce heavier
-
Hi Dave
Is there anything light enough to suit a 1271 at 2.11?
Cheers
-
Which one is Marcus's shape? I think the middle is too high for me personally.
-
Dave are the weights quoted on the sheet are for a 400 cleft density? I assume based on last years offer +/- 10 density is equal to +/- 1 oz at the same shape. Hopefully we can do the maths. I will try to pick based on the stain placement. Getting tired over here. Much longer wait? [emoji6]

Marcus is not on there pal but it could be added tomorrow when it goes live tomorrow afternoon lads some nice stuff indeed.
-
Ok. Its bed time for me then. Save me a 380 if i sleep through it. Lol
-
Is the Sulphur one of these numbers Dave?
-
I might be acting like a thicko here but could someone explain or link me to somewhere that explains this cleft size/density malarkey as I can't get my head around it please :D
-

Hi pal the picture you see weights
There all at 400 densify
If you choose a 390 density it will mean the bat will be 1 ounce lighter than stated weight on the poster.
If you choose a 410 it will be 1 ounce heavier than poster weight.
So take bat 16 it 2-9 and a half if you choose a 390 cleft it will be 2-8 and a half

Hmmm, why not bat 16, 390 cleft, weight 2lb 9,5 and more volume than a 400 cleft?

Because we are trying to keep cost down as that would need re-action on the cad which is what we are not going to do mate unless you want bespoke which will be added.
-
Have you got a price yet Dave for these bats?

Hi Dave, defo keen to see what's on offer :) any update on an approximate time they'll go live? Just trying to work out if it's worth staying up late or getting up early down here in 'straya.
-

I think Procricket said that this will be going live this afternoon. I wouldn't wear your key out. :)
-
I can't take that chance, my keyboard will be sacrificed for the greater good........the greater good. :D
-

-

No pal we are vat registered so you will get the vat off i beleive postage is between 30-40 quid to Australia but you get vat off the bat.
Sorry i'm holed up with my own work but will put pictures up by 1300 hopefully and anwser questions when i can.
1271 is the 2-15 and a half on the pictures James
-
Is the Pepsi shape the same as the Cadmore one, also are your clear stickers embossed like the others?
-
Pepsi new is a oversized cleft i stress no oversized clefts are on offer we have around 200 in but there not butterfly yes all stickers are embossed
-
aww thats a shame :(
-
Dave - is the Sulphur shape numbered / from a standard cleft?
-
I'm assuming a SSH (shorter handle and blade) would fall into custom for this offer? Boo.

I would like to have a bat made with the following specs.
Bat face width = 4.75 inches (120 mm) - Will this fit in your presser or do you have another way of pressing it?
35 mm edges with a very high middle
55 mm extra long spine
minimum concaving
toe and shoulder 20 mm
Round Handle
Weight 2 lbs 08 Oz
Something along the lines of "20 - Professional" shape from the poster you uploaded.
Tell me what kind of a butterfly marked/knots/pin heads/wavy grains low density cleft will fit this order?

Wouldn't that bat be illegal??
-

Yes, but it won't be used in any official or ICC related games.
It will be used as a practice tool to transition a few American baseball players to get the taste of cricket.

Then when they buy their own bat they'll keep sticking off and wonder why!
You'd be better off getting a regular width bat in my opinion, but most people ignore what I say anyway!
-
Isn't a baseball bat narrower then a cricket bat? I don't see the benefit to having a wider bat

Not only narrower but as you know, it's round as well.
But the challenge is the transition in the brain to move from playing cross bat to perpendicular bat.
The illegal practice bat is only for starters and then we will move to regulation bats.
There is a lot of work required on the footwork and developing certain muscles and reflexes. How to get the body behind the ball, keep the head down, bring elegance in wide spectrum of 360 range and what not.
I think a golf player is more easier to learnig cricket batting than a baseball slugger.
But I can tell that these baseball batters have some seriously good hand eye coordination to continuously hit the 100 meter homers, and that too with a narrow and round stick.
-
Although a wider bat will help they'll be fine without it. Some other ball sports players can transfer skills quite well. I remember watching the Ian Healy testimonial at the Gabba about 15 years ago and pat Rafter was smoking the ball everywhere including a huge 6!
They could do a lot worse than to just see ball, hit ball before you coach too many specifics

Yes, I agree.
The good thing is, it started off by them approaching us.
A group showed up out of no where on a Saturday morning during a game.
We got introduced and they closely watched how the batsmen played and showed a great deal of interest in learning.

Coffee n Cookies, lads at B3 have mgmt by the short and curlies!
Seriously though its the heart of their operations. It shapes the clefts from a computer modelled profile. Look up B3 Cricket on YouTube and there are some vids explaining it. Very precise and repeatable. Rest of the bat is hand finished.
