I don't think Dave is getting promotional about the B3 brand - he's simply a passionate bloke who is excited about a brand and bat that is ideally suited to his style!
I had a similar crown grade b3 Trott which was an absolute gun, and I rated extremely highly compared to even my best bats!
But for me there are a few other bats that suit my game better, so I eventually swapped it with a friend as I wasn't using it! 

Even though it wasn't the perfect bat for me, I can honestly understand why Dave loves it!!

As most bats dont get a long life on here though i bring up my bat again as you do had it first sand by myself not too much damage for 800 runs through this one. The original one had 250 through it bar a little crack in the toe and some light surface cracks around the middle( yes i must have had a lot of throw downs).

Great bat weight without stickers and grip 2-4





nice picture of it originally



All bats I see and pick up are rated against this this is my benchmark

Another gorgeous bat!

The crown cleft is something really special.

Is this still your match bat?

[procricket]

I only have 2 bats well bar the little cupboard with the Pintu and a KG in there.

Yes it going to get used till it runs out of gas or breaks.

My other B3 there first ever production bat has only had 4 run outs because of the quality of this bat.

Both bats are going down to B3 for finishing touches ready for the new season with another possible addition if the wife gets the sales pitch.

My 2 have saved me money i have not bought any other bats...

Are they just nasty looking cracks or is it starting to delaminate mate?

[procricket]

The crust is starting to come away mate for sure used half a season scuff and half natural.

Going to get it scuffed and have a similar process to Micheal Clarke bat

India took a lot out of my bats I found with the heat and hard balls

[procricket]

Been in again for it 4th refurb i cant let this bat go!!!!!

Still goes well the original 1271...

19cm diameter oval handle as big as you can get and thats without grips...





Simply my best bat ever....

[trypewriter]

I'm a big fan of those handles.

Does look like a lovely bat.  I've often been tempted by a B3 but not had a dabble as yet!
