B3: batmakers for the pros.
« on: October 18, 2013, 11:52:24 AM »
Spotted this on Twitter last night as I follow B3.

Nice to see how a pro would like a bat, rather than go on feel from a batch of five.



Seems to want a little bit of concaving too - the horror! ;) Tiny edges too...

Unless Vapen is a player/person this also gives away one of the brands they make for ;)

Noticed that, but naughty of them.

Said brand actually posted a CAD screenshot of a new bat design for next season.

Just been into b3, pro bats everywhere. It's actually cool to see how different each pros shapes are.

One pros was heavily heavily concaved, probably due to the fact his old maker sareen like to concave.

It should be 99.9% accurate mate if being machined :) (allowing for a tolerance).


That's the beauty of a cad/cam process its able to make your favourite bat over and over...which comes in handy if ur a pro and get through 8-10 bats a season!

Yes but how many use bats for over a season on here most tend not to use for that long on here...

The revolving door of forum bat sales! ;)

My bats have been going 4-5 seasons now only added 2 new ones as others are split/de-lam/dying on me.

Still if I did ever want a copy made I'm sure B3 could make one with the same profile/middle/edges etc.

wouldn't feel right though, the craftsmanship would have been taken out!

Is it not progress?
The use of technology to compliment and add value to a product/process

There will always be a demand for pod shavers, but I like the B3 approach.
