We made this up yesterday after looking at a few pictures of a Indian players and adapting to our needs...
It not a lightweight it at just under 2-14 in a 381 oversized density so not for the faint harted.
Any way here it is

48mm edge no face shots yet.....
I have the number but please be aware this will be around 3lb and pick up is good but does feel like a club on a stick
:D :D
Idea came about whilst eating a dounut i saw a picture on social media and thought why not mat.. The bill is flat but it still bigger than most bats and whilst it looks a extreme minor sloping bill there plenty of wood and the hitting area oh the hitting area.
I'm finished for the season working with Streaky coming up with crazy shapes this is my last of the pre season i like it yes it big and heavy.
Time to get back to my lovely 2lb 8oz normal cleft "Tonto" or Zizi but once you go big can you go back down and by no means is a 2-8 bat.
-
Is that a cricket bat or a ski slope?! :D could turn it round for the ramp shot over the keeper Dave
-
Is this the one you had posted on the other thread yesterday Dave?
-
yes mate streaky and me bored came up with this beast well not bored between the chaos they have caused with there offer !!!!!!!
-
Just curious, which indian player profile triggered you to do this ??
-
Kholi a varient i do think was made by RNS top one i think we made it a touch bigger and added some stuff to it

Time I went back to my 2-8 bats

Thought when it was in a more raw form, in the other thread it looked good! but I think its a little bit too drastic for me. I may have to consider getting a similar shape just more duckbilled, something 45/46mm with a 30mm toe and the spine running down into it. A monster of a bat!
-
This shape is based on the new Xlphon - not sure where Dave gets his names from, surely we are running out of Greek gods!
The below shape can be made out of a "normal" sized cleft but hopefully still retains the features of the design. This is how crazy cricket bat design has become as 6 months ago, this would have been considered big, but now, it is just normal.

Vital statistics - available in 2lb 10.5oz and above.
Enjoy!

P.S. somebody said to me the other day "if it aint broke, dont fix it" - not really thought about the phrase before but it got me thinking what a rubbish saying it was. If everyone had that attitude how would we progress. So thought of the festive season - "if it aint broke, develop it". It was this time four years ago that B3 was a spark in my little brain.

Told you 😉
-
The funny thing is that I see features from bats of the eighties in many of these. The flat back from toe to hitting area is very reminiscent of the old V12.

Thanks Dave, which grade is it? Are the grips also available with B3?
When do they reopen as I have to place my order to give Doc ample time to finish before the offer expires.
-

-

Ok Dave, I will request Doc for a Dave Grade then. Hopefully he can find one for me too.

Nice one Dave. Looks perfect. It seems i am starting to like the modified xlphon. If the shapes that i desire doesn't give me the required weight, i think i will finalize thia new xlphon.
Dave, is this profile good for low wickets?
-
It's ok I'm not te tallest and find I hit the ball higher however I is a very nice shape indeed one I may get in a lighter weight too

What would the number of this profile be PLEASE? I think I may have found what I want....
-
just ask for the normal xlphon mate there no number as non of that has been made mate i'm there tomorrow and will ask for a number
-
Picked this bat up yesterday and what a weapon. I thought it was 2.9 and seriously considered getting it copied. The pick up is sublime along with the size
Phenomenal bat

-

Which one Canners normal xlphon or the Big daddy..
I was amazed at how well balanced all of daves shapes were
Oversized kohli felt unreal as did the typhoon.....
There was a crown typhoon being finished off and it's one of the nicest clefts I have seen.... Gonna be a proper bat that one
-
Bit of topic but did you pick up and Pepsi's Canners?
-
Pepsi was another massive bat that felt a lot lighter than its dead weight
Think the one I felt was 2-13 and again I'm a 2.8/9 user normally but would be fine with that bat
-
He stole my bat!!!!

-
I hope you have it back now!
-
Are you selling your big bats, @procricket B3 ?
-
Nope mate only got a couple and one is still in my bag well will be come game time
-
There looks to be a little glint in his eye, as if Ramps is thinking..... " I might just have this bat".
-
Used this bat tonight in it new re-shaped i just put it on the machine and got 3oz out and tonight it sounded like a rasping machine gun very happy tonight with my bats all of them well bar one !!!!
You know the feeling when your not sure about a bat and them bang crash and a bit of ummphhh it went very very well

Down now to 2-10.... went back on the machine and re-mapped
-
Got to say i have never had a better collection of bats
-
Soon enough pal not got as many as some on here think I'm back heavy though strange but feel more control had maybe 30 sessions now feel ready
Is this a proper pro bat now as used by Ramps
