They took some out around the splice are and also near the toe to give it a bit more of a curve it was a very straight bat before




It is now 2lb 7oz and as you see still massive and the balance is still top draw they did a great job...

Nice one Dave! It's still go plenty of wood there so looks like she'll still have plenty of go.

Out of interest, how did they actually lighten the bat - still using CNC? So do they have your new profile stored as a CNC program?

Nope this is where all bases where covered by b3 the podshaver took over but the bat can be mapped for future bats

Plenty of wood still has as much wood as a 2-12 bat in according to wood mass so overall happy.

Well glad to say no ill effects and no real loss of any coverage of the middle Gav the Podshaver really did come out and get the weight down without troubling the coverage of the middle or any blance issues.

Got to say when you hit the ball it stays hit with this bat it has become my favourite bat very very quickly it has finally succeeded the fabled one


Just goes to show modern techniques with good old fashioned skills can work together I thank Gav for a great job and the doctor for rigging it up....

damn, was hoping it would be for sale soon glad its going well for you mate, any pics after the reduction?

[procricket]

They are just above the last few posts mate thats the reduction it mad it weight is 2-7.4 and the shear size.

After seeing the JT in the flesh I've got to agree with Dave that its a cracking bat and a gorgeous shape - shame I wouldn't do the bat justice if it was in my hands out in the middle.

[procricket]

You will chris lad keep plugging mate the runs will come bud

[procricket]

Well used it yesterday top edged a quick into my lid my lid peak is split and the jt b3 crown has a massive compression dint/crack on the leading shoulder mid way up.

What a bat it is the other first ever B3 got a lot of attention of a few people may need to return to maker for a fix or a quick bit of tape over the edge.

The 3 crown is going very very well indeed so is the custom

[tim2000s]

Sounds like you need an Ayrtek. My B3 has received so many limes that two of my teammates are getting one made to the same shape. Pete's Trott B3is marvellous .

Ah Pete ones do look nice we nearly swapped for one i have not seen his 1271 version though the 2 i have seen one was Roco the other one Yash i guess Yash is close to the 1271 profile.

Glad i think there very good bats

[procricket]

Well half a seasons use got to say this bat has replaced my pb and become my one and only bat i use.

After rebalance I have total confidence with this bat it is great I get current pictures up it has cracked a touch and the face seems to have for flatter.

The only sad thing about getting real top draw is I don't look for any more

Not even my other b3 gets any look in this bat is that good

[smokem]

Dave, good to hear the weight reduction worked out so well. It was definitely worth the gamble and you've got a beauty but now at the right weight. Nice one mate!

[countycricketplayer]

have been thinking of get a b3 for a while, this is a real tempter.

[procricket]

Played last night a little chip came out of my bat in the middle of the toe

Sorry to bore people pictures to follow
