Title: B3 Twins
Post by: Calzehbhoy on March 05, 2016, 09:15:30 PM

After being really impressed with the quality of my TKC in the 50% offer I was perusing eBay and saw a couple more B3's that were for sale as a pair. They were both the weight I traditionally use so decided to pick them up. Blue is 2:10.3 White is 2:10.2.

Both have edges the are max 33mm and the spine is around 50mm.

Both with the larger oval handle that B3 do.

Pick up is feather light not had chance to test responsiveness yet though.

Come on, do a proper thread!

We need to know about the pickup, responsiveness, edge measurements, spine height and handle shape at least!

How much? Is the white a shorter blade?

For the right price am i able to steal one of these? I just want a b3. Any pictures from the toe up?

I'm afraid I only had time to photograph them and a quick post, flying out at 5am tomorrow and apparently, according to the wife anyway, I have more important things to be doing than photographing and weighing cricket bats....

You're right, she was... Edges 33mm Spine 50mm. They appear to have offset edges too.... (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160305/b6c216a13138e16e6ddd49e46d8e6dc3.jpg)

Never get in a bidding war on ebay. wait and wait then bid 20 sec before end ... Never show your hand , if it goes above your budget then don't bid

This!
I've never understood why people bid so early, all that they're doing is costing themselves money...
