I don't think Dave puts his B3's in the airing cupboard. Guessing they've lost a little moisture naturally.
Got to admit the B3 he used yesterday sounded gorgeous. We were discussing anti scuff after the game (over a beer and pickled egg) and both came to the conclusion you do lose a little bit of performance with one. What you do lose is the lovely sound of a hard leather ball on willow.
I prefer the look and feel of his JT over this B3, but performance wise both are very very good.
Looking forward to the bats he'll be bringing back from India, you can't argue with Daves eye he has for a bat
