Show us your crown
« on: September 13, 2016, 04:58:21 AM »

I've owned a lot of bats and the b3 crowns I've seen and used are up there with anything out there.

Would love to see what you guys have got.....

Will get a pic of my one up later as well

The forum is full of Northerners, so they all probably think "how f***ing much" then take their whippet down the pub for a pint of bitter and plate of chips & gravy  ;)

Chips, Cheese and gravey is more like it, can't beat a good tray full of the stuff after a night out.

Are they going to 600 squids @thedoctor or are you stopping them?

Would love a Trott crown, what weight would that come out at Streaky?

Ok, this may be a stupid question but what exactly is crown willow? Is it just a straight grainy cleft? Is it always low density? Again, pardon my ignorance just curious.

Average density is 400 I think and a crown bat is around 350 with perfect looks. So you could get the same size bat as a 400 cleft and it would be 5oz lighter, or a larger bat at the same weight

It's another reason manufacturers are able to push prices up to ridiculous levels and try and justify it, a la players grade, grade 1+++ etc etc

No disrespect to B3 intended whatsoever, the bats look stunning but anyone paying £500 for a bit of shaped and pressed wood needs their head looking at IMHO. No doubt the finishing and quality is top notch as always, and yes you pays your money you makes your choice, but half of one thousand pounds on a bat is quite simply barking.
