The hybrid shape is in between my Pepsi and your Warner profile: 40mm edges with no concaving... I'm really looking forward to seeing the Voges profile: what weight have you ordered, mate?


I woke up to an exciting email this morning from David at B3. He took a few sneak peaks of the finished product.

80mm Spine. I think that's max as Ive already asked if it could be higher. Hope the pickup is good as its 2.15. Its a 2 stripe. Havent got pics of the face yet.

Just when I don't think I need another bat - especially one that's heavier than I usually use.... :o

In my (relative) youth I used a 3lb Newbery but now in my dotage I don't have the guns!  :(

I have an NV Monster that is 2.15 but I couldn't believe the pickup. Felt about 2.12. I think it all depends on the pickup and of course the extra strength

Here she is. What a beauty. 2.14 in the Adam Vogues profile. 33mm edges and 80mm spine in a 2 stripe. Beautifully balanced and a nice bow. In my opinion the ping on this is actually better than my warner profile bat and I have yet to knock it in. Will be doing reviews on both bats shortly. Enjoy

I prefer the left, more meat in the toe but 2.14/2.15 far too heavy for me. I have a 2.14 in my bag and im knackered after 20 balls! If only i could get these specs in something around 2.10!

The other one is meatier however the final weight with a thicker grip,  oil and extractec is dead on 3lb. This one picks up beautifully because of a higher middle and duck bill toe. But the ping is more responsive than the Warner profile. I'm sure very similar specs can be made to 2.10.  I'll keep the Warner profile for t20s I think

Might have to look in to it next season I dont bat very often on Saturdays but sunday i bat up the order so i tend not to worry to much on the a specifics of a bat and tend not to pay much either. Hence, i own a 4 star Oblivion e41.
