Fatter & lighter , better balanced , just under 2lb 12oz ,  52mm edge , spine height 72mm , square toe 22mm , less concaving into the toe area & 535mm in blade length , handle very similar with a slightly bigger knob @FattusCattus will love that ,  my other kabooms are 550mm blade length  , each is different , weights & balance vary as well , no two are the same , this latest version is the best , very special , one of an initial exact spec , if the shop stock are the same you are in for an experience ,  get in early to your GN store to have a choice.

I bought the Predator 1300 a week orso ago. Weighs 2.11 with a spiral grip. Similar pressing to a B3: could barely dent it with my Lignum Vitae mallet but it pings unreal. Bought it last Sat, used it on Sunday and hit the first ball i faced for  90 meter 6...
The spine isnt as high as an XP80 but the edge is bigger. Bit of a combination of both. Measured the width of the face though and its only 104mm....

104mm??
Bit cheeky

Hmm
Just measured my new b3, and that's 105mm
And my best ever old bat, an old gn supreme 5star, is 104mm
I guess, unless you measure it, it's not an issue

Thanks @Aussiecollector, I'm really tempted by a warner!!
