It's real!!! Not a shape I'd go for but it still looks a cracker

It has the same feel as the Hades  -  which has been a revelation -  best bet I ever played with ( well perhaps the woodworm wand but that's another story) . Big fan of the offset edge -  seems to give bats a great amount of swing speed if that's the phrase.

Is your Hades a Super short handle or did you get the B3 in a long handle?

Hades was SSH -  but only cost be £30 -  came from a rather short county pro

And speculation aside, this is a nice shape in my eyes.

It was indeed -  good guess or inside knowledge?.  I got it on ebay from somebody who had won it in a Durham CC raffle -  where it was donated. It had a dent in the toe and a crack -  my guess from being chucked across the dressing room after a low score -  got most of the cash back due to the damage (hence only cost me 30 quid  -  but a bit a superglue and it has been absolutely great. Bargain. ;)

Andy said that was a pro he sponsored and who is not the tallest player in the world.
