Having decided that I wanted a B3 butterfly, I then had to decide on a shape. Having a series 1 Powerbow in SH, I thought I'd ask them to replicate it in a Long Blade.

After exchanges of photos and designs with Streaky and Dave, a design cane back that looked the part, and so it was made up.

This is what I received:







There are a couple more pictures of the toe demonstrating no concaving, but they need editing.

I'd say it is a good facsimile especially when you consider it is just from a picture.

The most impressive thing is the weight and pick up. B3 have retained the powerbow pick up and while it is a long blade, it weighs half an ounce less than the old one while having bigger edges, a similar height spine and a flat face. I can only put that down to a heavier grip on the old one and also a denser cleft.

I think the bat mapping works very well and I'm impressed with what streaky  produced. I'll let you know how it performs when I've had a chance to try it!

I think they've done a cracking job there Tim - got to be happy with that.

Will they be taking orders for "the Tim" do you know??

But that's what great no matter what shape you have we can BAT MAP the beasts.

It is why the alot of players choose B3 you get exactly what you want and it from pictures we are even getting advance mapping now so we can create when people are ready.

I'll check the numbering later and stick it in the topic.

I think this is where b3 really can offer something unique in the market. Once the shape is in their system they can just keep reproducing it too. Great work guys

That is, B3 can replicate any bat shape if they are provided the profile pictures?

That's  what Streaky does...

[procricket]

Yes Bat mapping is available to anybody we can replicate any bat in the weight you want.

How we do this is by volume and by Streaky great keen eye.

I would say this i would try and include a profile and a toe upwards picture to make it really great.

I would say this and another new project Streaky is currently working on are cutting edge we have boundless energy to get it right and as Smokey as i now call him says "Never Stand Still".

How do I send the profile pictures?

[procricket]

send a picture to david@b3cricket.com and tell him what bat you want and he will advice what is possible grade wise because of density and so like.

[avkrish]

Thanks, will do that tonight

Pictures and other details emailed to David as directed. Waiting for response.

If we were to send a broken bat to you, could you replicate the shape? I have a knackered Xiphos that I loved which I would like to get replicated (obviously without the break!)

Do the bats feel the same in your hands? Seems unlikely to me...
