Bespoke option is available but will be a extra 50 pound it is not something we really want to do to keep the cost down for you guys it is a forum only offer and is not available through our other media streams.

Yeah just seen them, I thought 12 clefts were gone but he was meaning number 12 was sold, duuurr moment
-
Dave, can you offer them knocked in?
-
yes but knocking is £20 pound Sir,
-
Glad I got my order in quick :)
-
17 is tempting me.....
-
How much scooping does the new DB1 shape have, is it quite severe?

will get pictures but not overly a very nice profile indeed
-
gone for broke with the new DB1 ;)
-
Im on a call back. Getting nervous.

You will not be disapointed great profile mate.
-
16,17 both gone ?
-
OMG this is soo tempting but I've already got 3 bats and I'll just whinged at by everyone, "why have you got 4 bats you can only use one at a time" or "what a waste of money, its just a piece of wood"
-
yes please look at post 3 for updates
-
These are absolute stonkers! Can't believe 18 hasn't gone!

would make a lovely DB1 at around 2-10 it was my favourite
It is still available
-
Will you be getting more butterfly anytime soon?
-
I can try but normally do it once a year I will ask the question though
-
ahh came back online very very late :-[ most of the ones I would be interested already gone :(
-

Plenty of grains and would make a lovely high middle blade IMO - maybe a 19 profile? Cleft 23 looks more than decent too.
-
Are more butterflies coming soon?
-
16,17 both gone ?
Yes - sorry!
-
Yes - sorry!
Hi - nothing planned unfortunately
-
@Doctor
just to be sure, will the modified tonto (new DB1) be around 2.8 with cleft 23?
-
@wiki
Not sure if he Will be back but you are correct it will be 2-8
-
@procricket B3
My only concern is with the scooping, I am not a big fan of it. Otherwise it looks a decent cleft to me and I am very tempted to order one. Do you ship to Poland? How much would it be including shipping and fully knocked in.

The bat (or any bat for that matter) wouldnt look anywhere near as big without scooping, so there is always a compromise, but I think one worth making as this really is a lovely looking design (slightly biased....) ;-)
Bat - £125
Knocking in £20
Shipping approx £20 - Never shipped to Poland....
-
@The Doctor
Just called your number, nobody is available to take my order :-( left my cell number there.
-
Dave. Can you hold me cleft 8. Just having a convo with streaky regarding. Cheers
-
I was wondering the same for the new DB1 profile as I'm not keen on scooping as well but I gueas it's needed to keep the weight down.
-
We are open first thing at 0830 gmt
-
@procricket B3
did you get my 2 bats for repair? ..... how do i pay for it?

What is the main differences between the old DB1 and the new shape DB1?
-
What is the main differences between the old DB1 and the new shape DB1?
The new DB1 has a slightly higher middle with a reduced toe and shoulder - making the swell look even bigger.
Modern twist on a classic shape.
-
Do you have any images of actual bats sporting this shape?
-
There coming mate from toe upwards I like the db1 profile now the old db1 was a modern one but new one is a twist

Are there any clefts left mate?
-
Hi Cam have a look at post two mate there a few pal
-
That new db1 looks good but i'll be hunting runs with my Tonto. Pre manufactured picture below lol.
Btw, Do we get the new embossed stickers?
(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/05/99c992508d34d856048d879e85b7524c.jpg)
-
Wouldn't you want butterfly stain in the middle of the bat?
-
I dont mind it how it is. I actually asked David if it could be turned upside down but it is not able to be.
In one of the bat making videos, David explains that in order to measure the density each cleft is already pre cut to a shape of known mass, therefore cannot be turned around, screenshot below.
(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/08/0ede763e4798cb1cc2fc7aea365d6a47.jpg)
It should help with balance at approx 2.115 with along handle and I want the dark side on the RH edge and that little bit of butterfly stain at the base will be good for strengthening the toe.
At least i can be sure it will ping all the way up to the stickers lol.
-
@procricket B3 any update on my bat mate?
-
I'm in the factory tomorrow will find out for thee pal
-
I'm in the factory tomorrow will find out for thee pal
@procricket B3 same goes for me too, please dave. Thought theyd arrived today by some miracle!!.
-
Not a drama will be after 5 though lads unless there delivered to you
-
Spoke to David and my order is leaving tomorrow.
I'll post pics when the bat ( and duffle) arrives to see how accurate my mockup was. Soooo excited
Ive decided to try spending some of my money on a batting coach rather than new bats over the off season before i change clubs. Using my DB2 for the first time in the nets today so hopefully ill find the middle.
-
I can confirm all butterfly will be out by the weekend lads
-
@procricket B3 I need to be home to collect the package so could you please provide me the shipping and tracking info?
-
I have text streaky we have changed couriers and there has been a slight delay getting the tracking info please email david@b3cricket.com once again I apologize with the delay in tracking info
-
Have emailed and spoken with David so he knows I need this. I can only imagine the bat has still not gone out due to whatever issues there are getting international couriers. We are getting a great deal so no dramas about any delays.
Just need the tracking details because if no one is home and the courier doesn't leave it at the door its a two hour drive to the depot and back.

Hi Sarg,
Your bat got despatched yesterday, it was booked in for shipping on Monday as discussed due to the removal of the duffle bag.
The bat will hopefully be there for Friday, I will forward the tracking info today.
Please give us 24 hours to respond to emails, we will try to get back to you the same day but it's not always possible, working till past 9.30 last night and still got 83 unanswered emails. So please don't think we are ignoring any of you.
Cheers,
Streaky
-
Thanks Streaky.

My Tonto has arrived and Ive made some adjustments. I ordered it as a long handle and have taken a cm off the toe and then tapered it. Sorry Dave.
(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/25/f319a2345b0294ad84749dca36f06ab7.jpg)
The whole blade pings from the toe to the stickers and i'm super happy. Its such a great profile.
Near 40 mm edge
(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/25/333b02eef52eb2a756ba507eb9ec643c.jpg)
Near 68 mm spine

Bit thicker than before.
(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/25/7d1aca5ba035b526291c20251db1b0d2.jpg)
Have to also add that the finishing of the bat seems to have improved since the db2 was made. The polishing is top notch.
End result is a 20/20 or short format bat that feels amazing. Its now 2.10. My db2 on the right it 2.95 but actually picks up heavier than the Tonto.
