Our club was one of the early ones on the b3 train, we had a factory visit last feb! There's a fair few b3 bats and equipment at our club currently.
Quite frankly, I buy bats, but Haven't discovered a bat that gets near any off my b3s yet, Highly recommend them to anyone.

Friend of mine is sponsored by b3 (plays for mcc YC's) and he said their factory and setup is unreal

Would love to see some profile pics of the Karbon if you have any- just to compare how different it is to mine. Especially concaving.

Otherwise a very nice collection. Does this forum have a booth to go into to repent for ones bat buying sins?! It should!

No Pics currently. But will get some soon.
Bat is very very concaved. It was gong straight back originally as I was not that impressed.
Ordered 2.10, it weighs 2.97
Grains aren't that nice, even or straight.
Has heartwood with 2 very small knots/marks(unsure what they are) on the outside edge.


Then I got my mallet and ball out, and it pings, and has quite a long middle! Which is what bats are all about. So it's staying. Lol

As people have asked me to do few details on these bats. (Ala hosks inventory but not as good) I thought I'd start.


First up, my favourite bat,

B3 3stripe bespoke. Low middle. Very heavy.
2 grips,

Don't you dare see a shrink - you and I should set the "Bat-maritans"... Where people can ring and have a good cry about how their favourite blade has split through the splice and how it will never be the same again ;)

I only wanted to look at bags! And bought two bats. Lol.


Truly is an awesome place, there so much clean looking willow, that feels beautiful. It's what happens when you handpick bats. You get the best!


I'm glad I visited, being 4hrs away, I now know, if I order online. I'm gonna get something special!

It's those lower grade bats that are the killer, they look like top of the line sticks!
It's the BAS bats that get my Visa twitchy, just glad he's always sold the light ones when I pop in. The Hammer shape is awesome.
