Sorry but how is Tauhid moaning here ??He made his specs clear. If deemed unreasonable, you communicate & get out of the deal. Having said that, Tauhid just try checked ng the spine with a vernier once because as mentioned earlier, if that edge is 40 then the spine surely looks close to 70.

Jesus, that's 2lb9oz? Looks unreal. If your tape measure doesn't approve of it, I'll take it off your hands!

If it not possible it is perfectly reasonable to say it to the customer.

No one is moaning here. Using abusive language is no way an administrator should behave.

This forum is to write your bat reviews and I reviewed it as I received it.

There's nothing abusive in what was said...

Agree Nothing abusive in what Buss has written but  also agree you should have been advised if your specs weren't achievable that said it always pays to ask the question

If the edges are 40mm then no way is the spine only 60, as @d7bow said. Looks a hell of a bat to me!

Ive certainly not seen any abuse here.

Looks like a fantastic stick, if it picked up well and plays like it should, I personally wouldn't care about a CM missing from the spine, but if that's not what you paid for then it would make sense to touch base with B3 first to see what has gone on and perhaps update us. It also looks like it has been used? I would have avoided that if you were genuinely unsatisfied with the product you received. Like a few have mentioned, looking at the edge profile, the spine certainly looks to be more than 60mm if those edges are 40mm, however it could be the angle of the photo.

Good luck, looks a brilliant bat never the less.

Please contact B3 about your concerns. If they dont respond in timely manner then forum is the right to get attention.

If you are not happy with that - I'll have it off but I'd have to take the B3 stickers off though.....

Market determines the price and probably that's what the bat is worth.  :D

Speaking from experience with B3's customer service, they are second to none! Contact them directly and the issue will be resolved without stress.
Streaky normally sends a CAD drawing of the bat with dimensions shown before starting on the bat: what spine height did it show?
Glorious looking bit of willow you have there!

Disappointment is obvious when one pays for the top level bat and the final product doesn't meet the requirements.
Did you check with B3 guys and what was the response from their side. Bat does look nice, big bat and full profile.
For most of us this forum has introduced to brands like B3 , Bb, Alfred etc. So it's always good to post your feedback of the purchase.

You sure you weren't measuring the spine on an angle? Looks more than 3cm from edge to spine.

That is one big bat for the weight, you should be happy with that. 2.9oz with 40mm edge and 60 odd mm spine and NO CONCAVING!

Looks massive to me.
