Cheers mate hope your well Simon

A lot better mate hope you had a good Xmas and new year

Looks nice . Are they pressed differently or only shaped differently .
Does look similar to 2015 ca bats shape .
May be with stickers will give a better idea

Pressed the same as all our bats individually and shaped differently Streaky designs the cad pal it goes on the machine and Neil handles them and Gav and the boys finish...

Not seen any CA with 72mm spine mate.

Sorry if I offended anyone with ca remark

I said similar shape and not same shape.
I have seen many 2-10 ca bats with 40 mm plus edges and 65 mm spine.


Also may be with stickers it will look different

[procricket]

No mate Ca make fine bats but have a look at this angle very different in most senses We do not do big bows and if you look the edge are different and so is the spine so in truth so is all the profile

Big difference in 65mm and 72mm spines pal but your right will get one snickered up to show you mate.

I guess send me one and I'll compare it properly 

[sarg]

The other difference is the willow quality of a B3 and how much care is take reducing the moisture to lower the bat's weight. I have a ugly all heartwood bat i posted about a week ago, that is 2.8 with 40mm edges and 70 mm spine and significantly more scooping. Due to it's lower cost and Indian origin part of me thinks it's weight reduction was done in a furnace or incinerator  .  Love the look of this bat.

Great looking bat - very imposing.

...and the possibility that the CA has a Academy sized blade.

Presuming B3 just trim and shape the shoulders this is the best comparison I can manage in paint, similarish maybe, but not identical. Maybe someone with access to GIMP or photoshop could do a proper overlay to bring us up full bat geek speed.

[procricket]

I just want to know what is similar really???

edge profile different, middle position different, and size different (infact please can somebody tell me what is the same.

I guess working with streaky and seeing the subtile changes every day there is certainly no comparrison at all in either bats,

Ps although paint has made look simiar size truth me there not 72mm spine show me any CA with that spine..

This bat was designed in house by Mull and streaky and no Ca has ever been near the factory.

And the two pictures are not in the right ratio either the ca is slightly turned to make it look bigger trust me i know all the tricks look at the ca you can see the face sticker never trust a bat size if you can meaning it is not flat.

I could get streaky to cad that bat but i suspect 38mm edges and 63mm spine maximum and shorter blade.

It's pretty difficult to say just from two pictures but i imagine if you overlayed those two shapes they'd be near identical. I don't think anyone suggesting you and the B3 guys have just copied a CA bat, but it's pretty unlikely any remotely tradition bat shape is going to be new, given there's only so much you can do with them.

[procricket]

Nope i do not see what your saying???

I have never seen a Ca and i have seen a few and had a few pro ones off my mate and none have been anywhere same size or shape as the Mullanator

Nothing similar concaving or anything it like saying it closer to a Legend by GN??

if you put them side by side you would see a massive difference i have seen this bat and a Ca.

You can not make this bat from a normal sized cleft.

[brokenbat]

there will always be SOME similarity with SOME other bat ... bats have a finite mix of good designs after all
