I'll do a full review later on, but for now I'm just going to leave this here...

Let's be honest, I'm the last person to resist a bit of colour!

[Turn Of Pace]

Gents, just after some thoughts on the B3 handles. Most people have said that they are thick handles which I'm pleased with as I prefer a thick handle. I was wondering if anyone knows how they compare with say H4L or Rob Pack handles. I currently use both of these and still put a second grip on each. I've got a B3 on order and have asked for an oval handle with a double bind. Do B3 use a standard handle or do you have to specify thick or thin when you order?

Don't know how they compare but the two B3s I've had the handles have definitely been thinner than I liked, specified a thick one both times.

Funnily enough I normally like a thick handle and normally use at least 2 grips on my bats but I actually find my B3 handle very comfortable with only the one grip.

I've got one and half grips on an Oval handle and it's perfect, feels the same as my usual set-up so no complaints

@neoncricket - Stop teasing and post the full size shots of your bat ...

I will when I get in - to be honest with you my iPhone camera is useless and I'd rather do the bat justice!

@Turn Of Pace  Similar to RP when you ask him for a thick handle. Not close to H4L as I have never had or seen a H4L with a thick handle. Feel of handle on my B3 is identical to my RPC with think oval.

Agreed, I had 2 grips on my RPC then switched to GM Ripple which I find 1 of those is similar to 2 grips but B3 with just one is perfect

you can customize to the Nth degree. ideally, if you are picky, send some sort of measurements. streaky will show you how / what to measure.

Thanks @tushar sehgal, that's just what I wanted to know.

So here she is! Big thanks to the Doctor  for sorting this out.

The vitals;

Weight: 2.13.7
Profile: Mull
Grains: 19
Edge: 40mm
Spine: 70mm
Handle: Oval (1 and a half grips)
Grade: 3 Stripe

The profile really does pick up well. Although the bat weighs 3oz more and dwarfs my current match bat (pictured), its doesn't feel unmanageable in the hands and I quite frankly can't wait to give it a run out in the nets next week! Very pleased with my latest acquisition that's for sure.
