Been so busy that I haven't been able to start up my own thread about a recent gem of a Butterfly I got from B3, so figured I'd take some photos and post them up here!












If you look beyond the stain, that's 7-8 very straight and even grains, and to top it off, they run very straight through the toe. (Apparently a sign that the toe is more durable) The bat is a thing of beauty, weighing in at just over 2lb 9oz when it arrived, and weighs under 2.10 with a scuff and shoe goo toe. It's the Mull profile, and made from a 368 density butterfly, so really very light for the size! The stain is just above the middle, and I feel that although it took quite a bit of hammering to level with the rest of the bat, it just extends the optimum hitting zone, as it seems to rocket right off that bit, even though it sounds a bit odd!

Anyways, a proper review of service and bat will be up sometime in the next month, when I get a proper chance to use it! Also got one of the leather bags, which for £15 are fantastic quality. Cannot recommend the B3 Butterfly more for value and quality, B3 are definitely a unique offering in the bat business!

Looks great Chad. And would there be any distinct advantage having the stain just above the sweetspot and near the toe?

I can confirm we will be having a clearance of the left overs at a great price from the 1st so keep your eyes peeled for some great bargains.

I think there around 7 left so will post up the ones when streaky confimes what is left.

Yeah I was after a lighter cleft but if they are being cleared I may take chance on a couple of the outcasts ;)

Hi, would it be possible to make these into a Harrow? If so, what sort of weight difference would it make on say the #1271 shape?

There not outcasts mate i would say 4 of them have been overlooked because there on density (400) yet are far superior clefts in my eyes.

I knew as soon as I said outcasts it was too harsh. I should have said overlooked. Which clefts do you think are best ones left? What's the postage to Australia?

My Butterfly is absolutely superb. It is possibly the ugliest of the ones I have seen posted so far, but it just taps up mentally, and I haven't really knocked it in at all. It is also the lovely Bragg shape too.

I'll get pics up when I get home, as clearly it currently doesn't exist.

Ta Dave.

Will review mines later, goes well, certainly as well as my other bats if no better. The stain is about an inch up from the toe on mines, so is obviously pretty dead, although there is a tinny sort of feel to the whole bat when hitting the ball, which I guess might be related. The stain is also raised a fair bit from the rest of the face as I presume it can't be pressed as easily being harder.

Overall it's a top price for good bat, would definitely buy another when Dave gets his grubby mits on the next pile of butterfly clefts  :D
