Shoab

Was a pleasure i agree it was a tad slow on our behalf at times with conformation of payment  and with you being in Dubai testing for us  and agree we could have responded better but without feedback like yours our process would not be refined in which they have been. The topic of customer services did pop was broached by me on Friday meeting and there now better plans in place to see potential problems and better dealing with them.  Our process has been refined and we are and will be better.

On to the bat as you know it was plucked from a very select group of clefts it was my second choice the other had less grains yet was a tad lighter and had grains going through the toe but you did say you wanted more so that is what i did.

Glad you like the bat as i said i think it is better than my Trott which is some statement and i think the crispness of the bat is key inline with the sheer size.

It is a saved profile on the machine and one i will copy in the future for my bats you have a great eye for a great profile.
As always I'm customer driven as I'm sure you will testify just because i have joined B3 does not mean i will become blind Integrity and Honesty is my core value. I hope with my help you found our service better and better.
This is a special bat i wish it was in my collection i picked it up and played some shadow shots t Crown are selected for there size and there potential playability although i think it looks very good and this is inline with some of the White label professional bats going out.
Thanks Dave,

With your help everything was almost smooth sailing except few issues as you have pointed out.

Overall I am happy and satisfied, you selected perfect cleft.

Now you have joined B3 so I am sure their service will definitely improve.

Looks very nice

Have you had chance to bounce a ball on it?
I know you spec'd it, but does it meet your expectations?
The bats I've seen of yours have been some of the best looking bats I've ever seen, ,does the b3 top the list?

Serious bat envy!

Thanks mate.

Yeah I bounced ball and response is amazing. Regarding meeting my expectations, I would say 85% met. I have some other special bats which are cosmetically better than B3 and B3 is definitely in top 3.

Bat looks superb. The orange b3 stickers are crackers. But my mate rocks them so i cant. Lol.

On 3 of my 4 b3 the service was top notch. One i felt a little ignored, and on occassion general enquiries ober social media have been ignored.
But i hope thats just due to them being busy, forgrtting to reply knowing i would pop in if needed. As opposed to purposefully ignoring me.
As they are good guys


Goodluck with tbe bat, im sure the marks on the back will have little effect on the bats play.
Thanks smiley,

Overall service of B3 is ok if not great. Mark on the back is annoying but shouldn't effect performance, i believe.

I've got to say the photos really don't do the bat justice. Everything about the bat was perfect and the shape is definitely one to bear in mind for the future.

Think you have to bare in mind B3 try to reply to as many emails as they can and when busy it might take longer for them to reply. I know first hand it's not always possible to reply as quickly as I would've liked.

Will be interesting Shoab to have a review after you've used it once or twice - I hope it's not a bat to just admire ha
Thanks mate.

I agree that these guys are busy so sometimes mail response is slow.

I agree photos not doing justice to this beauty. I will update on performance once i use it in nets.

That's an incredible bat for 2-8.5

Looking forward to the review, thanks for putting the pics up.
Thanks, Yeah the outstanding feature is a big bat with 2-8.5. I will review it after few nets sessions.

That bat looks amazing! What are we talking about price wise for a stick like that?
Thanks, price i paid is 400 less 67 VAT = 333  and you add 40 for postage so total = 373 GBP

Does it remind anyone else of the recent GM purist?

Is this same like GM purist? I have no idea about GM purist.

Yeah it does actually. I got a crown willow from B3 recently, I can't give It the wrap a lot on here are giving them, it looks pretty but doesn't have the profile or rebound a bat at this price should. I like the theory behind it all but this doesn't compare to Aussie legends or even most top end shelf bats from Kook or GN.
Probably you are unlucky mate not getting a stunner after paying such hefty price. I am satisfied with mine.

Speechless  :o , now this bat comes under VVS category. I am sure B3 will get a few orders from the forum with this profile.
Thanks Amrit. This is my favorite profile.

£400 for a crown but they are amazing bats
400 correct but for me 67 quid VAT was deducted and 40 postage added.
