One is a 50% 1 Stripe and the 3 Stripe I paid full price for. Both feel great.
Wanted a 2.8 bat with a thick heavy handle. Toe peaks at 30 mm and 20 mm at the edges. Shoulder is near 18 mm. I hinted I would be happy with a butterfly and when the first 1 stripe split in finishing the remade it in a butterfly. The background on the wookie reference is on my facebook page in the link below.

That 3 Stripe looks beefy for 2lb 8oz! Beautiful pair of bats!
I feel like this gets said too often but those white B3 stickers are just superb!

Yep, they look great, before I loved red on black. The yellow and blue were designed by the local Rep here in Adelaide. Navy blue, red and gold is the Adelaide Football Club colours so that will do me for training.
I have the original series gloves and pads, which are white on white, so Snow it is for the match bat. I'll look great waking out and walking back...what happens in-between is anyone's guess.

Are they still doing 50% off?
I Want one!
-
Nope. Another thread on that.

How does your 3 stripe pick up? any hint of being bottom heavy?
-
That 3 stripe is a stunning looker! How does it ping? I got a full profile Mullinator in Crown willow a few weeks ago and it is an absolute trampoline! The B3's have really got their pressing spot on these days.
-
Bloody hell. That top one is one of the nicest I've seen.

The profile has an even spread of wood despite the spine toe. It picks up maybe 2.75 and the 3 stripe is now 2.875 with a toe guard, facing and fibre tape.

Ta. its a quality stick. Meat is right where I hit the ball.....everywhere including the middle.

Yep. Have to agree with you there. I netted it for the first time last Sunday and it makes a crack like a whip hitting the ball. Stays hit and no vibration at all. Less mass than your bat @Wickets-then-runs I'm guessing. I'm waiting for it to open up during preseason. I'll be very confident with this bat.
-
If I had a child, I would trade it for Bat 1!!!
Best bat I have ever seen!
-
Bat 1 is a looker alright.. As I said straight from the bogus cleft picture voting on your FB Marc. Still cant believe a few actually went for some of the other clefts?!?!
-
They don't come much nicer than bat 1
-
Bat 1 grains are to die for.
-
beautiful ..one for the grains thread :)
-
Both lovely bats
-
Ever thought of doing a video review of the bat 1?
I am considering a new bat in the 2lb8 range and quite interested in a similar profile.

I cracked up when you were hitting the ball :D

as did half of the stuff in the garage!

Fresh Video as requested. Still no good at hitting the ball whilst keeping an eye on the camera haha. Hope I covered it all.
It's for my page also so I cover all the B3 stuff in the video.

Sarg have been very much enjoying all of your info on your Facebook, in fact that much I have finally, reluctantly opened a facebook page (yes I'm old).
We seem to have very similar taste in bats, and some of your reviews have certainly influenced a couple of my most recent purchases (L&W and B3).
So I can see how it would be beneficial to bat makers in helping you out to continue in providing the public with honest reviews.
keep it up mate.

Bat looks lovely pal, hope it serves you well

Thanks Mate. I don't proclaim to be a expert, just an enthusiast and hobbyist. Enjoy the page and message me for any help or an opinion.
Always trying to present my perspective and enjoyment of bats and other equipment.

Probably. I did a 3.2 oz GN video immediately after it. Check the page. For $200 it was great value.
