Retro Designs
« on: November 18, 2015, 05:09:59 PM »
During the quiet times of the fire (no machine to make bats) I had a look at putting a B3 twists on some classic retro designs;

Retro 1







Retro 2







What do you think?

Not everyone’s cup of tea I am sure but thought I would share them on here, for the old'ens on here to reminisce and for the young’ens to have a history lesson of bats from the 80’s – or was it the 70’s…..

Look forward to your comments….

Can't see the profile view but the jumbo looks like the splice cut out could be taken down a bit further and the toe a bit thinner with no spine.

No words for the SP, looks like Dave has been let loose on the CAD!

I'm not really a huge fan of either update really, but then wasn't that big a fan of either original! I'd be keen to see what you did with the old Magnum shape!

Jumbo looks like this:-







Magnum more like  this:-



The "dent" in the spine on the DF is below the splice.

Nick please read the thread i have seen these bats for a few month it mentions B3 "Twists"

I also know what a jumbo and a magnum after all i did grow up with my favourite player using one

I know it a jumbo pal i tried to say i was gonna get a magnum done as in "looking into it"

I wasn't and I did read the thread where it said a few twists. I thought a few pics wouldn't hurt for the less informed.

They look nice, but they need finishing properly!
Will B3 be designing some "retro style" stickers to dress them in??
