I was so impressed with my GN50+ that i decided to get a copy of it made by B3 in lower grade for net sessions. After contacting B3 via email Streaky sent me couple of profiles similar to my GN50+ in long blade. B3 is more closer to a Laver Ultra than GN50+ but exactly the same as shown by Streaky in the pdf. Pickup is balanced but definitely not light as GN50+. Ping is awesome as expected from a bat of this size with a stiffer sound due to 4 grains and B3's "Ready pressing".

B3 specs
Edges: 50mm
Spine: 71 mm
Weight: 2-15
Size: Long blade
Profile# 2700

GN50+ specs
Edges: 54mm
Spine: 75mm
Weight: 3-0
Size: Long Blade






Here are the comparison pics with GN50+





Trying to capture the extreme bow of GN50+

Still a big looking stick.

Is that a bow is see on the B3??? @InternalTraining

The GN should pick up slightly better with a higher middle and a bit more wood in the shoulders. B3 is still a big lump though, i've got 2.15 bats nowhere near that size!!

@JB It is massive for 2-15 with 420 density. I asked Doctor for lighter density cleft but they dont have any light density in over size at that moment.

Great review and photos @jd163. That 50 Plus is a monster.

Lovely shape and bat mate. Is that a 2stripe cleft?

Yes, they dont have over-sized clefts available in 3 stripes at tht time.

Wow I thought that would be a 1stripe but just my opinion, my B3 pinged very nicely that I used for T20 last year
