B3 Custom Stripe 1
« on: November 07, 2012, 11:28:13 PM »

It being my birthday, and before my self imposed bat ban, i ordered myself this. Now, you might recognise the shape a little and that was very deliberate.

I thought I'd do a blind test of the online experience and bring it here.

Having incorrectly entered my email address, I received no confirmation of the order, but the website held the info and all was good. I heard nothing for a week, so emailed using the contact form. Having still heard nothing, I rang up to be told that my bat was nearly done, they'd been doing a mail server upgrade and having issues and they'd send me pictures. When nothing was received, I resent the contact form and got a reply, with a picture. After some confusion at the B3 end, my bat was shipped a couple of days late, having been oiled, scuffed and knocked in. It was supposed to get down to nets tonight but work got in the way.  >:( Prior to sending I was called and told it had come out lighter than they expected. When told the weight I said it would be fine and they could send it.

This is it, and I'll let you have a guess at the weight...

2'8oz looks a twig  :D

Depends on spec but I think 2'10 is a fair bet if it's LH/LB. I'm sure you said somewhere 2'11 is your weight limit.

Aye, it is the grade 3. The V tells you the "Stripe" or grade and the name is simply which range it is from, so Series, Custom or Bespoke.

She ain't the prettiest, but with an old ball, seems to bounce nicely. I have to admit to being very surprised at the size of the bat given both the grade and the weight, but I'm not complaining!

I think you protest too much! Nice looking bat to my eyes, nothing wrong with a stick with a bit of character!

I thought it looked similar to mine did you purposely go for offset edges Tim

Lovely shape to it
