It a hockey machine with slightly tuffer spinners it is a bola which fires real balls at you..

It speed goes up to the other machine we have but it a bit more random and it how i test my bats..

Yep right amount of grains and not a flicker of a colour on the face how it should be a proper grade 1 in all aspects.

Just realised they took my sticker idea having the carbon fibre effect as the background colour :(

Looks really nice, I really like the stickers, personally, think the branding is good and stands out. Can understand why it picks up a bit heavy as it looks very bottom-heavy!

Am I right in thinking that the middle is much bigger as a result of the offset edge and spine?

Looks like a nice stick, I think their branding suits their company in very much a 'mechanic' way. Nice shape on the bat to be honest, the toe area looks quite flat - looks similar to a solitaire I had a couple of years back. Would be interested in seeing some more possible shapes of them - it would be beneficial for them to show 'real-life' images of the all possibilities of the bats they can produce.

Had a solitaire it is different to that I choose this shape because it respbled the old laver special profile I love

Look on twitter they have many photos of other bat shapes

There is on all about 2800 different combinations I believe

Yes they have a gm feel to them although I was never a big fm user

2,800? Where do they get that from? Unless they are talking about blade in combination with weight and handle...

4 profiles, 6 edges and 6 spines gives you 144 shapes. Then you'd be using handle length, handle shape and weight to make up the rest of those 2,800 combinations. If Vantage offered their two profiles in Round and Oval handle, with LH and SH, at 13 weights, they could be said to have 104 combinations...

What the equation it is more than Tim said though

The permutations are more than a basic 4x6x6

Tom knows the amount they have available

That quote is from toms blog.

Tim is correct, 144 different profile combinations, but when you take in weight, handle, grade etc, there's 28080 different possibilities.

Which is quite funny really, as it's all marketing.

Take any of the custom makers on here and you'd be able to validly create a case that they have thousands of combinations. It's simply the psychology of machinisation that presents the opportunity to suggest that you have all these, and the nouse to notice that no-one else has yet used this marketing ploy!

It wasn't a marketing ploy, it was just my observation of the number of possibilities.

I don't think B3 have ever marketed that.
