Title: Which BB profile is this?
Post by: NT50 on January 31, 2019, 04:30:28 PM
Hiya lads!

Does anybody know what profile this BB bat is?

I only ask because i bought it from IJC a few weeks ago and have oiled and started knocking it in - but after a few throw downs with a tennis ball to try it out, it's just a bit too heavy for me so i'll be sticking it up on ebay - hence why i'd like to know what profile it is so i can stick it in the description. My guess is B4 but i honestly have no idea

Have attached pictures - cheers for any help in advance!

Yeah that looks very similar to my B4. What weight is it? Be happy to maybe take it off your hands.

weighs 2'9 but i can't use anything above 2'7 owing to the fact that i'm a little weakling!

Can IJC not help you? Surely the retailer is the best person to ask

Looks like a B1 to me. A picture along the toe revealing concaving would reveal all for sure

If it’s not used in the original condition you can probably exchange it

That bat looks just about perfect - All BB bats I've seen have picked up great too. Are you 100% sure you can't use it?

Absolutely Nothing wrong with the bat, it’s me! Pick up is fine, taps up nicely, it’s just too heavy for me to justify paying a fair bit of money for.

Have added B2 to the listing. Hope it wasn’t a forum member who just asked if I would take £100 for it 😳

Are you sure this isa grade 2 as described in your ebay post bud?  You might want to alter that as a G2 from Blank Bats is much cheaper than what you are asking for.  May affect your chance to sell.

Perhaps this is Limited edition I.e. G1?
Title: Re: Which BB profile is this?
Post by: NT50 on February 02, 2019, 04:09:13 PM
Ah yes it is a Limited Edition have just checked the IJC page. I was under the impression this meant Grade 2, is it Grade 1 then?
Title: Re: Which BB profile is this?
Post by: Mfarank on February 02, 2019, 04:13:10 PM
Its a grade 1

This topic's developing into a bit of a mini classic - you bought it straight from a retailer who specialise in picking bats out for customers and giving the exact specs but not only is it too heavy, you don't know what shape or grade it is?!
Title: Re: Which BB profile is this?
Post by: NT50 on February 02, 2019, 05:04:51 PM
It wasn’t handpicked for me, nor did I ask for exact specs

It was the lightest BB they had so I bought it. I had no idea about the specs because I have no idea what half of them mean, nor am I particularly bothered by them.

It’s got the feel of an infomercial - Its given me the sudden impulse to buy a nutribullet

I can understand. In most places or brands, lightest bat available is probably a 2-9. If you need something like 2-7 or even a 2-8, you would need to be very specific that you only need that weight.

If you are after lightest then go check adidas bats from IJC.
