What do you think of the new b20 bat for 2016.

I LOVE IT!!! What's it based on - a chunkier version of the Newbery TT?

How much, and what weight range is it available in?

Stickers on the back look so cheap and tacky with the overly large clear bits. Ruins the overall look. Will only look worse as the exposed wood is oiled and ages.

Surely it's not hard to sort even with a Stanley knife and a ruler.

It's based on trying to hit the ball onto the moon Bruce. 😀

Prices are dependant upon grade of willow, but close to 50mm edges are possible in around the 2.8  mark, ( dependant upon cleft availability)

The problem with stickers is that they tended to lift on the spine. So needed a way to keep them down. The pics make them stand out worse than they actually are imo.

Don't be so bloody mysterious - some of us have been drinking!!

How much is the bat in G1 and G2 ?

Keeping us in suspense does not fill the bank account young man!!!

Am I speaking to the Welsh Stallion or the Essex Dream Boy?

That's a big profile ..I like all t20 bats :)

But somehow the sticker/grip color combo doesn't work for me. May be the grip should have the fluorescent color instead of the black.

Stickers could be provided as high-tack vinyl, if you use the right people  :D

Looking forward to that :)
Do you plan to change the Bb sticker on the bottom to match the blue colored one ?

They are very sexy. Are they the LH, slightly shorter blade jobbies?
Title: Re: Opinions please
Post by: Blank Bats on November 26, 2015, 10:57:28 PM
No standard blade, but with the cut away shoulders. But I can see where you're coming from on.

Looks a beast, nothing less. Agree with others on the sticker but I like the blue colour scheme. With the standard blade this will definitely interest many cbfers. Personally I never get used to the smaller/mongoose size blade.

What weight are these ones?
Title: Re: Opinions please
Post by: JB on November 27, 2015, 07:44:10 AM
What a profile!!

Its only the back sticker that is a little bit bigger, I don't think that it would bother me really. I think the flash of the camera will be making it more noticeable!

How big specs wise could you go for a high weight up near 3lb? I'm amazed how big they are for the weight!

Lovely looking- have always fancied a BB.

Can we have a pic toe upwards please?

Surprise of the year that.

Glad to hear they are standard length blades. I've seen too many people pick up a shorter blade/ long handle at their normal grip point and wonder how they missed that one that stayed low. People have to adapt to a shorter blade and even then they have to play enough cricket for it to become natural.

I love the mimimalist stickers and the widening of them adds practicality to them. Mine were lifting on the BB Butterfly I had.

Personally I prefer a slightly different profile but it is good to see more meat in the toe.

When using mine you knew that every ball I hit was going as far and as well as my technique/timing would allow. If I wanted to hit it sweeter/further the only thing to be improved upon was me.

Any forum special offers coming up?

@smilley792 there's a couple here that look right up your street (just need to hope they weigh a ton too!)  ;)

The naked weights are between 2.9 and 2.12.

I like the profile and the sloping shoulders instead of a shortened blade. But I would rather sacrifice 10mm from the edges and have less concaving.

Why not have a 0.5 inch shoulder drop and slope the shoulders? It's barely noticeable unless you are very tall or intend to use the top half of the blade to hit the ball.

I think it's a fair compromise considering the edge size is nearly 50mm.

Post by: Six Sixes Cricket on February 17, 2016, 05:58:10 PM
Anymore slope on that ruler and the edges will be 60mm  :D

Not even sure it's been measured at the top of the edge anyway! Be interesting to know the pricing.
Title: Re: Opinions please
Post by: Blank Bats on February 17, 2016, 10:04:28 PM
I need to invest in one of them callipers, the edges are 47ish.

Pricing is in line with other the bats .

Great, can I claim the middle one with heartwood on the right handers inside edge looks like a net bat, and pay £95 for it please?  ;)

Post by: InternalTraining on February 18, 2016, 03:11:58 AM
These are standard SH size bats? What's the price? Are they bowed or have a forward set handle? I am looking for a G2/G3 net bat, in 2-12/2-13 weight range, high middle and an aggressive bow.
