Dave

Aye!
-
Yes.
-
May be able to push a few at my club.
-
One here :)
-
Love butterfly...
-
Yes, but don't tell my girlfriend :D
-
would certainly be interested in that
-
Are butterfly bats as good as non butterfly bats? Does the stain have any negative points?
-
In my opinion experience if the maker knows how to work with butterfly, nothing can touch them. However if they don't your whole body shakes when you hit the ball.
-
Mine go alright

From the reaction I don't think there will be much interest ;)

Butterfly willow is the lowest grade of willow the stain is caused by frost and hard pruning the willow is heavier the stain adds Strength and the bat can last longer.
But for me sapwood bats with the correct moisture content are better.

I'll be tempted just don't tell the wife
-
Yes .... B3 Pepsi :D

I have a B3 butterfly that I got as a real bargain. I netted with it for the first time at the weekend - not knocked in, just soft balls at fairly gentle pace (sorry guys). Don't know if mine is typical, but if you like bats that make a deep basso profundo noise when you connect with the ball, a butterfly isn't for you. If you prefer a whipcrack type of noise, you are in business. Noise apart, if you give the ball a good thump it stays thumped. I didn't experience any nasty jarring when I hit the ball. The bat has no scuff sheet but there were very few marks on the face to show that it had been used, so maybe the stains make the the bat a bit harder. I'd previously shown the bat to a guy that I work with who has now retired from cricket but used to play at a decent level. Apparently in his day butterfly bats were the holy grail - this was in the days when bats were revered for longevity as well as performance. Butterfly bats bear close scrutiny, the stain can give an optical illusion of wavy grains, when closer examination reveals that the grains are running straight and true. The bat that I have has the straightest grains through the toe section of any of my bats, so again, I'm expecting it to last well (heresy!). As regards weight I think like any cleft there is variance. Mine is 2-9 and it still looks a pretty big bat. My view? I'd definitely buy one again. If you do buy one and don't like it, it's the sort of bat that will give years of good service in the club kit bag. You've all seen the quality of the bats that B3 make so you can buy with confidence.
-
Yep! Masood profile would make a lovely butterfly bat methinks.
-
Yes Pls, if any in oversized cleft would love to get a TCK Pepsi in butterfly to keep my mull company...and if not then still interested lol
-
I'll take three. thanks. :)

I'm interested. Missed out last time. I'll try to get a couple of mates interested too.
-
I wouldn't bother, the interest doesn't seem to be there!!
Ill have one please :D
-
I could be tempted!
-
Yep. Would probably take a couple.
-
Dave, seeing as these don't come up very often, you'd want to get the best out of them so what are the options and would they cost any extra?
Any profile?
Supersize cleft (for a heavier bat)?
Oversized cleft (to get the most volume from a cleft that is below the 400 number)? For example 370 would be about 3mm larger right?

Might be expecting a bit much, Butterfly clefts tend to be heavier than most clefts from what's been mentioned before. I think the oversized cleft question is a good one. I think most of last years butterfly clefts were pre-cut.
