Totally agree with that. My silver sovereign butterfly is one of the best bats i have.

£150 I think or £175 for g1 butterfly. Something like that. I went for the supreme shape and asked for a light pickup (I used 2lb 8oz bats previously). When it came the bat was very well finished with what I think are the smartest stickers.
The dead weight was 2lb12oz but it does indeed have a light pickup. This bat made me realise that you should ignore the dead weight of bats.
First innings I had with it I biffed off a quick 75. Cheers Paul, nice bat

Many of the makers will say they perform really well due to the increased stiffnes the stain gives the blade.

They sound a little funny bit my oh my do they ping.

I've had 4 butterflies from b3. The lads at my club had a play with my first, and I ended up fetching another 5 for them over the next few weeks.

Very highly recommended.

But.

Pictures speak a thousand words. So what does a video say??




That's a b3 buttefly in that video, sounds not the same but look how far it goes!

MSR has a few on eBay for about £45-£60 each I think, they definitely qualify as a bargain.
