Because the clefts are weighted and measured so the design takes into account the weight the cleft is needed to create the shape and also calculates the weight at the end so the edges are mm perfect including sine and the weight it comes out at

Tim is better at explaining than me but there even a formula which streaky uses and it very clever what they do

Sorry thought it was a question yes the 3 crown is or will be launched mine was a special laying around

But my bats I asked for heavier for some reason

That's as good an explanation as any. If you want more detail, they basically work out the average density of every cleft they receive, catalogue them and then match the catalogue against the shapes that are requested, and obviously, if you are having one completely custom made, they can pick the cleft to give you the best results.

Having said that, thanks to willow being a natural substance, the average density doesn't mean that they can calculate as precisely as they would like, so mine came out lighter than the requested weigh, but is a huge bat. Which I am not complaining about!

I think B3 Cricket are a breath of fresh air, they offer a completely new concept to the market. These bats are made for every individual to their expectations of what a bat should look like. A lot of the new companies that are cropping up are simply putting stickers on bats made by Tim Keeley, although this isn't an issue as the bats are quality!

I think once B3 fine tune their operation it will be a big hit and Mr Bacon is a very knowledgable chap.

I've used my 3 stripe in 6 innings now and, although I don't have anywhere near the amount of bat experience that many of the forum do, its an absolute dream.

The weight, feel and ping are unlike anything else I've had or used.  It genuinely feels so natural and comfortable and, dare I say it, special.  The noise and rebound are phenominal.  Total trust in it and exactly what I wanted - shape, weight, pick up, handle.  Top, top drawer.

Get one.
