Sorry wasn't very clear there, I mean 350 GBP. I have heard good things about B3, just slightly worried about their pressing. But I'm open minded and they are certainly in the running.



Pressing not an issue I've ever had with b3.



Had a few too.

That bloke Tim Keeley, who makes bats for Newbery, he is supposed to be ok at making a bat.

A number of the sponsors can help you out with a custom Newbery.

Just a thought.

i have had look around and I was thinking that If i had to use only one brand for everything including bat,pads and gloves. Which brand would you guys recommend out of B3, Chase, and salix? I know that they all custom make which is a reason that I am trying to choose between these three.

Salix hands down on my experiences with those brands.

Surely the bats are all of a comparable level aren't they? I think the softs from Salix may be slightly better than that from H4l and B3 however? Have you guys had an experience with this as we dont get many of these brands in Aus.

The world is your oyster, if it were my money I'd take the opportunity to get bats from the very best batmakers around, judged by a proven track record, that should shrink your list a bit.

I have a couple of B3 Bespoke bats and I can't fault either of them. Excellent profiles, great pickup and most important of all very good performance. I would have no hesitation in recommending them if you have the money to splash.
