Stickers - Yellow/Blue LE
Grains - 8
Edge - 42mm

Over all bat pings good and feel and balance is good . coming to disappointments

1. Asked for yellow Octopus grip and got chevron grip
2. Requested for toe guard and its not fitted

@dcullen8  It def not a an argument , not happy with what i see since Stripe 3 is supposed to be a good clean bat for the price . yes its 50% off but that doesnt mean B3 is not getting their money its shelled out from someone else pocket. I guess it is what it is for now .

That's a chevron & not a spiral grip mate. Finishing looks good on that bat.

@gaurav23 my bad ... yet to take my morning coffee

That doesn't seem to be a pin knot. I believe its called a 'hard bar'. Try bouncing a ball on it - if I am correct, it should actually respond *better* off that mark...then again, its a fair distance away from the sweet spot, so may not matter in the end.

This is more a playing area debate, do you use the area just under the stickers to play the ball? Can't say I'd use that area anymore than the edges!

[gaurav23]

Hopin it opens up & plays better for your sakes mate !! Knock it in well & Give em' hell !!! Oops [emoji12]

Didnt personally mean you, just dont think the forum needs this whole debate again after the trouble i caused last night

Can i hit every ball right at the sweet-spot certainly not i guess ... reason going after TKC profile is to have longer middle so it has more sweet-spot .. anyways like i said these are something i dont like but that doesn't mean i dont like the bat . if it plays well thats enough for me .

@dcullen8 Certainly not mate , i just said what i feel .. not creating any debate or any type of conflict here . Just wrote my personal view on what i feel about the bat nothing more than that.

Might as well use the Mongoose then,eh ?! C'mon pal, that very much comes under the 'playing area' !!
Irrespective of it all - if the buyer is happy then the rest are better off just enjoying the pics [emoji16]

I would be disappointed to see it on a bat especially if its top of the line, 50% or not doesnt matter.

Looks great and Certainly looks a grade 1 bat to me, and I would rather have that mark than an inch of heartwood. The mark looks to be a lot higher than where the middle looks to be. Also don't b3 grade not only on looks but response as well? If so get the edges and toe knocked in and have a bash with it. I'm sure the bat won't disappoint.

[batcrazy]

sorry dude but that is not great "looking" for a grade 1 (im unfamiliar with B3 grading but think 3 stripe top stuff) so yes fair to be dissapointed. Suppose saving grace will be 50 percent off but i guess thats not the point. shape a little odd looking but as long as you like it thats all that matters. If not im sure a return or change will be easy as does not even meet basic requirement of "clean playing area"
