I would never had been able to afford a full priced 3 stripe sent to NZ and this 50% offer made it possible. I am grateful for that.
Saying that, I expect to have their top grade willow (Below Crown) to be available and if not then it should have been stated in the initial offer e.g "Some will come with 6 wide grains that may not be straight or even and have blemishes on the face and back and some will have no blemishes and 15 pretty straight grains"
I don't think @dcullen8 should feel happy when his 3 stripe looks like some of the offers 1 and 2 stripe offerings.
I don't like to complain ... but. I'm not going to lie, if my 3 stripe looks like his then I will also be very disappointed.
These are what I expected after reading all the great reviews and looking on FB https://www.facebook.com/B3Cricket/photos/pb.403435713007231.-2207520000.1453255706./1102902553060540/?type=3&theater
I'm a fair man ask anybody who know me on here and has had dealing with me i do not always side with B3 either but your comment is not fair and in truth i can kind of dispel what you are saying.
your words

(This is not a slight on Laver a brand i have in the past said they are great and good)
face as you can see has defects one on a £1000 pound bat the others on there flagship bat
blemishes on the back too
you see as you know williow is a natural thing marks/blemishes do turn up in all bats is my point yet you say they look great and i'm no disagreement just stating facts in which your comment was
They look good no mention of marks by you but some others do.
My point is simple i'm not on the payrole at B3 and in truth i need to open my mouth like i used too instead of sometimes keeping stum but i also notice you slated a H4L for being ugly yet the spectrum for grade 1 is quite big.
Chad i think your bats look nice you have a great collection just showing how people can on here manipulate what they say.
So it good for Laver to have blemishes on there flagship bats but not B3 and you would be very unhappy.
This is no argument i have better and worst looking 3 stripes just don't like the fact and the angle you take.
Spend as long as me on the forum it becomes like matrix code and on another note i did spend a hour sorting the lads stickers and grip out which the grip pissed me off the most.
Look at the forum one thing i can say is i praise all brands not just the one i represent kit is my passion not my job and if the kid is not happy i will drive to where he lives and swap him for one of my bats because i want everybody to be happy even at my own detriment!!!!!
(please note i'm a big fan of Laver and Wood)
