After bugging and nagging @Butterfingerz for countless hours (Rich, your patience is truly remarkable!), I decided on the 32.2 (Shan Masood's new shape) as the shape to try. Didn't want to go with the domed profile versions a few have tried, as I wanted a light pickup, and 2mm of concaving is hardly noticeable (many dealers would call it full profile).
The shorter blade feels great, and the pickup/balance is beautiful. All three weigh exactly 2lb 8oz on the dot, and feel exactly the same.
Specs wise - they are all 1mm smaller than the "max" allowed edge/spine specs (so for example, the edges are 39mm instead of 40mm). This was done to access a wider range of clefts (they were running low on crowns), and I'm glad we did that, as the grain structure is superb on all three.
Yet another fantastic B3 purchase, and I know I said this last time (http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=43519.0 (http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=43519.0)), but these might ACTUALLY be the last bats I buy ;)
A special thanks to Rich and Tom for being so patient and helpful.

Absolutely stunning
-
Very nice, one of the best colour options in the B3 range those white stickers really set the bat off well. Shape wise they look really nice and chunky for the light weight. Good luck with them
-
Batss looks amazing, pity about the fibre scuff sheets though ;)
-
Lovely big bats for the weight not a fan of the fibre face sheets

Why did you need three?

how many bats do you have?
and why not! when theyre a set like that its even better!
-
Stunning bats! Not sure I'd want to cover them with fibreglass sheet but each to their own.
How on earth can you decide which one to use, it would be an impossible task like picking a favourite child!!!
-

I was about to say the same. Grains look gorgeous but fiber scuff sheet should go!
@brokenbat seems like you are also a B3 fan. How many do you have so far?

Haha - well B3 has pretty much delivered clones - no discernible difference, so won’t have to spend energy choosing one.
-

Just one.

Think you might be on the wrong Forum.

Think you might be on the wrong Forum.
Perhaps even the wrong sport?

New members to family, please use the top picture far right one last, I think that is worst one. So, yeah, keep it aside....ahem..;)
-
Great looking bats, love the profile on them!! Hope they serve you well!
Mikey.
-
Just one.
Gorgeous.. liking them 3 bats...
I know its blasphemous on here but i am down to 3 bats. The aim is for next season to have it down to 2 identical bats. Main bat and a duplicate net/bad weather bat...
GM and B3 are topping the list although I keep saying I want to try a TK ... :(

I'm down to just one now and I'm absolutely loving it, but if I had 3 of these beauties I certainly couldn't complain :)
-
I am currently down to 2 bats and it's worrying me.
-
I have 2 bats, both B3s, and this is considered shockingly extravagant by my team-mates who all have just the one bat, or quite often they don't own a bat at all but just use one of the club bats.
I have two so that if one breaks I will still have one to use whilst I source a replacement.
