Morning all, sorry it’s been a while but I’m back.
We recently designed a new bat which is being used by TKC whilst playing for the England Lion and Luis Reece of Derbyshire. The bat was shared on social media this week and we’ve had quite a response.
Here it is for you to see...

Looking good Rich!
Any reasons TKC changed his shape?

The Pro’s are just like you and I, they pick up other bars in trading and see something slightly different which they want to try.
TKC has been using this shape since his 164 against Durham, which was the bats first ‘outing’

Pretty good reason to stick with it for a while. Looks beautiful.

I’ll get the CAD profile online tomorrow. Weights stat at 2’10 but the pickup feels great for that weight. It’s a close fit getting it through the gauge so will please those of us who still seek that big profile.

Excellent, thanks. The maxed out Finch I have is awesome but new shiny thing syndrome is alive and well :( :D
We all have that new shiny thing problem!

What does the finch one look like mate, got any pics
-
In need of some stickers?
-
Really really like that one dan

Love this profile- was very tempted when I saw this on the gram
-
Can this be done in a one stripe @2.9? 540mm blade full short handle length?
Asking for a friend ;)

Phone or email them, they are very nice people!

I would honestly call B3 and get it going that way (assuming you can't visit). With all the variations they offer and expertise they have it is a better way to go and they'll have no problem sending on CAD profiles, etc or different variations of the same base profile (perhaps different incarnations of bats Finch has had made- the used one in the showroom is different again and an absolute beast).
Just to throw something else in to the mix, if anything ever happened to mine I would be keen to try a squarer toe next time just for the aesthetics along this lines of this from @sarg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUqkqVV-QMU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUqkqVV-QMU)
That’s the video that convinced me love the shape. What weight is yours mate, what’s the pickup like?

That bat was immense! Not LE or Crown....PRO lol. As I thought in the video it is a low density, but with that knot, it was not a LE or Crown. Owner is now in love with his B3's again. Has a had a few too including a Mullinator, but was too scared to use his various crowns.
Some time ago I sold my B3 Beluga Crown to a mate's son and got a message from him today saying....
"Hey mate that b3 is a freaking cannon. Hit 50 last week and 42 this week only 6 singles and a 2 haha. You able to use your repeat business with b3 to get the same bat made up for cheaper than retail price? I want another one in case this one breaks?"
My reply : No. Don't be a cheap-"other name for donkey". You have money
bahahaha. Contact B3 guys, they are 1st class

Hi all, here is a profile pic of the new TKC as promised...

my match bat is a b3 pro grade and it is an absolute weopon, my understanding was it is crown density without the looks ?

has anyone got one of these new TKC/Reece shapes ? if so would love to hear some feedback
-
I have one
Great shape, great pickup and great feel. The thing i love most is the pickup, the genuinely pick up lighter than they feel
I have new Gray Nics XXX, Keeley, GM's etc but this little luis reece shaped butterfly B3 will be my match bat for the year
-
Yep, pics of doesn't exist 😜
-
@coverpoint_pro sounds amazing but we need pics 😀
I concur, I would be interested to hear about the coverage as well as I am concerned the middle may be a tad too high for my front foot banging 😂
-
I'm going upto B3 in October half term, will look at it in person, if anybody wants pictures I'll take some?

Hi all, just home (10pm) after another busy day at HQ. The Players 3500 is also used by Hassan Azad at Leicester who says ‘this is the best shape he has ever used’. It’s great when I hear and read such good things about bars I’ve designed. The guys do an amazing job in the office to to press and optimise the potential of each cleft.
I’m back in the morning and will try to dig out some data and the drawings for you.
Any questions please feel free to ask and if anyone wants to come and see us (will soon have some fresh stock in the showroom...I hope) please get in touch.
