So it all started when I saw this image of the new TKC shape and fancied a new bat so sent a few messages to Rich aka @Butterfingerz about this bat and weights etc

What with my birthday coming up I thought I’d treat myself and asked for some pics of superlight clefts, these were the selection

A 343 crown- one of if not the lightest crown they’ve done
A decided against the TKC and went for a custom
After being Cnc’d

Still a fair bit of work to do on these so called machined bats eh
I sent my match bat along as I want it shaped the same

Updates to come as still being made but pretty excited about this beast
-
The bat will be 2'8.5 when finished, it was a real squeeze to get this so big from the pressed left. And.....its a GUN!

Couple more teasers have come through

Looking good. That will test the bat gauge! I was very pleased with the choice of shapes etc I received from B3 back in October. Looking forward to seeing finished pictures.
-
I told @Butterfingerz if it fits through the gauge I want a refund 😂
-
Love a chunky B3, can't wait for pics when its all finished
-
Looks amazing! Can't believe it's only 2.8!
-
Lovely profile. Looks a beast
I assume the 1st 2 Clefts are not crown or are they due to volume?
-
Wow looks very nice, can’t wait to see the final pics. Is it mid to high profile kind of hard to tell at the moment
-

First 2 clefts pro grade ie crown density without the looks
4 clefts in other pic are crown
-
Looks bloody lovely, is that a shorter blade Michael? 540mm? 542mm?

You have a good eye for detail Robert 540- Same as my match bat that I thought was a standard length....shows what I know about bats eh 😊
-
@Canners - Michael - how many sticks do you have now - and are they all B3?

@FattusCattus hello Brucie dear chum. This will be b3 number 3 and all 3 of them will be in my match bag. I also have 3 tasty keeleys that I don’t think are gonna get a run in..........

So just got back from bat paradise and am a very happy boy.... pics to follow

My God that is awesome. Cant wait for my twins.
-
Man I love the 1271 shape
-
My God that is awesome. Cant wait for my twins.
You won’t be disappointed, the pick up and volume is insane.
Not bad for 2.83 all in
-

Its not actually the 1271 but is quite close. This is much bigger generally
-

This is the only place where a man is happy to have twins himself.

Unreal mate. Cant wait. Think mine comes in an ounce heavier, still insane
-
It’s a tight squeeze that’s for sure....
Yep @DorsetDan is correct it’s not a 1271 but an oversized full root.... the shoulders do remind me of the Trott tho
-
That looks a beast, would be interesting to see it side by side with a Trott.
-
Sell this to me ;)
Amazing bat.

Amazing bat.
Haha no chance.... it feels and pings even better than it looks 😂😂😂
-
Root uses a SB/LH, does he not?
-

Yep same as this bat 540mm blade
-
i know this maybe a stupid question but, what are the benefits of these smaller blade bats?
i get the idea of the old 'Small Mens' if you were small and wanted a full blade (i.e. not a harrow) - but not the smaller blade idea of GM - any help greatly appreciated!!
-
The idea would be to give you more wood for the weight in the hitting area. Same principle as the woodworm bat I guess.
People say they think they pick up better but I think that is individual to the bat/ person
-
cheers guys!!
-
Bear in mind the difference is only 15mm!
-

Yes I’m not a fan in general of the shorter bat combos but 15mm you can barely tell
-
What are the full specs on this please?
Edge measurements at the toe, middle and shoulder?
Spine height?
Bow/handle offset?
-

But in some cases 15mm can make a difference - in girth for instance.
-
Better difference in diameter than girth Brucie 😉
-
Depends on what you start with 😁
-

Edge measurements at the toe, middle and shoulder?
Spine height?
26mm toe
41mm eddy’s
20mm shoulder
68mm spine
Bow/handle offset? Slight bow/handle slight forward offset
-
the want for this bat is strong!!!
might have sold a GM Haze in the quest to find the cash

Hi mate can you PM me your email address so I can send you my request of profile I am after cheers
-
Hi @Canners - how do you find this Root profile? Do you notice faster hand speed / better pickup?
-

.........Oh no............. :(
-
Pickup on this shape is insane. Easily the best in the B3 showroom IMHO
Did you get s new B3 Dan?
-
Pickup on this bat is insane......
It’s yet to be used so can’t comment on extra bat speed etc.
I have always been of the opinion that a slightly shorter blade/ longer handle combo will not produce greater bat speed on those factors alone.
-
Any chance you could let me know the number on the handle, would like a bat exactly like this one.
Thanks

-
@Canners @Butterfingerz would you be able to send me the bat spec number on the handle for this bat please, as may be looking at getting similar. Cheers.
