Sorry for your loss! Looks terminal! Burial, cremation or wall-mount?
Just give yourself a day or 2 to mourn your loss, then best of luck on finding a replacement!


It was a great bat. Pretty devastated at the time. But on the bright side Ive finally taken the route of a custom bat. New journey in my life ;-)
Ive decided I'm going to order a backup bat. So difficult to decide a on a profile. ive ordered the Warner small edge profile high spine profile from B3 with a few minor tweaks. I wouldn't mind the Warner big edge profile to top it off. Its almost impossible to get the exact same specs around 2.14 though

To be fair I do seem to have a number of replacements if one bat gets poorly!
But I do realise that not everyone is in the same fortunate position that I am lucky enough to be in.
But even with my harem of bats, I would still mourn a bat if it broke  :o

Yeah it was my baby. It scored me over 1000 runs and I bought it second hand as well. I just didn't plan ahead. I knew it was on its last legs. Wish I had your collection. Must be difficult to decide what bat to use though

Little sneak peak of my custom 3 stripe from the guys at B3. The stickers however have been changed to the new white labels. Just waiting for it to be delivered so I can tap it up. Not sure how it compares to the size of other bats though.

That looks great mate, I think you probably struggle to get a bug edge profile just due to the need of an exceptionally large cleft to start with and then it being light enough to get a 2.14 bat out of it

Wow, that is a cracking looking stick!!

The small edged big spine b3s are becoming my favourite profiles. Need to sell more bats to get myself one!

Looks like it has a nice long middle. Haven't got any pics of profile yet.
Ill try and do a comparison to another bat when it arrives.

Specs are:
33.5mm edge
79.5mm spine
weight about 2.15

The day has come and it has finally arrived. Immediately I noticed it was huge as there was a bulge in the packaging. The guys at B3 have produced a work of art for me. The service was second to none. The specs are exact to what I ordered right down to the weight. Cant wait to start scoring some runs with it. I have uploaded some pics and a comparison between my TON reserve custom bat. The B3 looks massive compared to the TON. Bear in mind the TON is already huge. If I had one criticism and it is only very minor, the back sticker when arrive was creased and bubbly and started to peel off.

TON reverse custom specs:
Very softly pressed
44mm edge
60mm spine height
No concaving
2.15lb
Slightly bottom heavy however the middle is extremely long

B3 3stripe custom
33mm edge
78mm Spine height
No concaving
2.15lb
Pickup is amazing and middle is very long


Enjoy the pics :)

Ouch !! That spine.
Great stick mate. Can imagine the balls going tongs off centre as well.
