You could probably tidy stickers with a heat gun or hair dryer.

What stands out for me is the shape, the coverage on this bat should be exceptional. B3 keep pushing the boundaries in bat making, while the rest seem to follow suit.

Really hope the quality issues get sorted for you and you get to enjoy that beast 👍

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

As always we will sort this out, and as always we will be in contact with the customer.

Stickers predominantly caused by the shape of the back, and I doubt our sticker guy would have sent it out like this,but will be following up with him after his Christmas break.

 I also take your points on the back decals.

Handle, this is sometimes caused when the back spine profile is overly large or the handle has been shaped to low down, or fitted a little to far back - this will have no effect on the performance or longevity of the bat but again will be following up with the handle fitter after the Christmas period.

Roco - please elaborate on your comments on my ability to put a sticker on!

Unfortunately it seems Dave who has very little to do with B3 has to try and smooth things over....

It does seem B3 take advantage of customers good nature and return business

Fair play to @procricket trying to sort things out

For the record, we do not take advantage of any customer and always try and go the extra mile for each and every customer - hopefully there are a few people oh here that will vouch for that.

This matter will be dealt with in our normal manner but not at 12.00 am on the Thursday before Christmas on the forum. I will be replying to the customer tomorrow, less than 12 hours after receiving the query. This procedure is the same for everybody both off and on the forum.

Happy Christmas

@The Doctor what would this weight for a regular cleft?

Well, I have to say that the stickering issue shouldn't overshadow the bat itself. I work with stickers, and sometimes they are a bitch to get over some of the funkier shapes on a bat.

If B3 and @The Doctor say the handle is ok and guaranteed, then it's happy days.

But overall, what a fantastic profile - I absolutely LOVE it!! What a great idea, and all the better if you can these under 2.10 in weight. Something a bit different and looks a lot of fun. I'd strip all the offending stickers off it and let the blade speak for itself!!

Totally agree @FattusCattus. The coverage on this profile is HUGE and according to @ursmasti picks up 2-3 oz lighter than its actual weight! This should have us all clambering to get our Beluga orders in at B3.

Roco - please elaborate on your comments on my ability to put a sticker on!

Don't know if you've actually taken offence here or not

But was commenting it looked like when you put the sticker on my b3 and tried 3 times but it wouldn't sit right and we laughed about it and the fact when you put my grips on white under grip was sticking out the top so looked like a pint of Guinness

You can't be good at everything you know that's why you have hired a sticker guy so you. can keep to what your good at making bats

@ursmasti your collection is getting better and better :)
Lower gbp does help..lol
The handle should stay fine. I have seen a few like that and its just the sizing issue. Its better to keep it like that instead of try to sand the bat to match the handle gap area.
do a ping video if you can .

I am not sure about others but I love the shape...I have always had version of this shape in my head as something I wanted.

Stickers are interesting, not something I would want, but I can see that these can evolve into something better looking. I always wonder why a company like B3 (@Doctor) wouldn't engrave the Beluga or anyother name on the front/back during the CNC process and save on the weight added by stickers?

I hope you get lots of runs out of it.

@Doctor when is the next 50% off coming ;) I need a Beluga butterfly and TCK pepsi before it becomes illegal :O

I had to go back and study the stickers to see the problem, wouldn't be an issue to me at all. By the time you've put it in and out of your bag a few times they're peeling at the edges anyway! Love the shape, think it would be interesting to try out.

Doctor has responded to email and confirmed handle should be OK to use . Also they offered replacement of handle and re-appying stickers if i want to . Since he said handle is OK i am not going to send the bat back. Yes i really started liking the profile more and more i see it .

Nice cleft but the profile is too out there for me. Plus the lovely subtle styling that was a B3 Crown has gone with those awful
Indian looking stickers up the back of the blade. Also still no bat cover included on a £500 bat, is just wrong in my opinion.
Hope you like and score lots of runs with it mate

I agree that application of stickers does not really look good on the bat but linking it to a particular country's style could have been avoided (because it is NOT), even if all Forum members are entitled to their opinions.
