Cheers mate.  Well I guess if I was paying that sort of money for a bat I'd go for the crown rather than the NB Limited Edition shown in a recent thread.

Too true - that sort of money isn't for everyone but there is no denying the clefts used are absolutely stunning

Ta @Ams4287 Yep, I still rate the profile. Ping is superb now. Only thing I'm concerned about is the bloke who's holding it  :D
Streaky and the B3 chaps know their willow, that's for sure.

Here is the finished article for the cleft I posted previously. Apologies in advance as my photo skills aren't up to the level of some on here.

Oh boy, looks like a beaut of a cleft. This shape is just a slightly larger Beluga to accommodate for the now 40mm edge limit? ;) Seems like it will have a massive coverage!

Agree stunning cleft but for me a bloody ugly profile, I don't see how it could pick up well or be balanced, but B3 must know what they are doing as always seem to produce forum favourite profiles

@Mattsky your bat looks phenomenal. This is by far one of the best bat that I have ever seen.

@ajnabi02  @KW9221

Thanks chaps. Yes, I never tire of looking at it. The Doctor picked me out one hell of a cleft.
And thanks to the willow's structure and profile, the ball stays hit too.
I don't think I'll ever have a better bat, to be honest. I really did strike lucky.
With it being winter at the moment, I haven't used it in anger for a few months.
Just a bit of TLC is needed, and it'll be good to go again come summer.   :D
