Title: Butterfly 2015.
Post by: procricket on April 29, 2015, 05:41:41 PM
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

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?
Title: Re: Butterfly 2015.
Post by: procricket on April 30, 2015, 02:17:51 PM
(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

Cheers

Which one is Marcus's shape? I think the middle is too high for me personally.
Title: Re: Butterfly 2015.
Post by: sarg on April 30, 2015, 02:32:22 PM
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]

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.

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??

Post by: Sitonit on May 01, 2015, 03:33:18 PM

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.

Post by: Giraffe208 on May 04, 2015, 06:36:57 AM
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.
