Probably due to it going off topic and unnecessary comments about other peoples bats. I do like the choice of title though, it is a very special bat

Probably you are right mate but not my fault, i am really annoyed that because of someone posting stupid comments and going off topic my post was locked.

Remember guys that the bats is only 2.6 (2.3 without stickers and grip), it would depend how much concaving there is in comparison to the bat along side. The spine and edges are also a lot thicker at the top.

I'll drop the office an email and see what they say.

Hello sorry been playing cricket so I will tie this up quickly the office already know about this bat I brought it up to them

Thank you Matt ref business model some great ideas mate.

All in hand I have a 2-7 crown I is big I would also like to say the crown or light dw city is not just at b3

I know of other people getting very big bats and even cheaper than the price of that bat you show there which I'm sure you get the pick if I'm not mistaken you work for the company.

As Chris has said Streaky is currently in Vegas so please do get in touch but I have already alerted to him you dissatisfaction from a earlier post.

Don't sweat it too much mate, as I said it was more for a look to compare with our top range in Aust and I like collecting bats. It's not a major issue.

It would be interesting to know how B3 ensure the bat's finished weight. Is each custom bat of a specific shape, so same spine/convex/swell number the same volume of wood, irrespective of the weight required and the right weight is achieved by picking a cleft of the corresponding weight. Or do their weigh a cleft and the spine/swell etc dimensions are adjusted to achieve the required finished weight, with is effectively what's done on a handmade bat.

First of all you ask for a design or finished weight. To achieve the correct finished weight they need a suitable cleft for the volume of wood you have put into it. So David measures the clefts and has a programme on his computer where the volume of wood is took into account with the weight of the cleft giving a very accurate reading on what the finished weight of the bat will be...obviously this is before stickers etc which add about 3 ounces

Toenails is correct, it's fairly simple maths but they use computer programmes so it's very accurate. Once finished, they weigh it and if it isn't quite right ie 1 or 2 oz they will adjust it very slightly by hand

Jimmyg · « **Reply #38 on:** April 10, 2014, 12:08:04 PM »

So it's the same as at Gm where for a specific model a 2lb6 bat is exactly the same volume as a 3lb bat, so edge size, spine height is identical. It would be possible to have the CAD system take into account the density of a cleft and automatically adjust the edge and spine height by a certain percentage to maximise the volume of the bat say if you had a low density cleft. I suppose that is what happens if you go for a bespoke B3 bat.

This is my misunderstanding I guess, I am thinking with the shape I chose even just a grade 1 or 2 cleft would come out exactly same size?

The shape would always be as youve specified. The depth of edge however would depend on the density of the willow and finished weight requested. If the willow was more dense than the cleft used then the edge would be smaller, less dense and the edge would increas in size.

I'd suggest calling the office next week and speaking to Streaky when he's back so he can answer any questions you may have.

So is Crown willow the best low density willow and "as rare as rocking horse do do" which isn't openly sold as has been previously quoted or is this just another hyped up grade of willow as there seems to be a lot of rocking horse do do around?

That's how I understood it.

you can get a cleft that weigh 3.5lb or one that weighs 4lb and they are the same measurements.

Crown clefts are just light clefts thats all, they have been around for a long time. Like Procricket said, they are not exclusive to B3 its just B3 call them Crown. I presume GM and GN call them Players bats .... those ones with the signature on them and a �500 price tag.

So they aren't rare as rocking horse do do as previously described then? Also previously quoted as not being openly sold by B3 due to rarity?

Sorry back on topic
