Not quite an emergency
« on: June 27, 2017, 06:35:39 PM »

When you are poorly you go off to see your doctor, Nottingham being a wee bit too far for a quick drop in, I made the call.

My tennis elbow isn't going anywhere fast so I needed a bat with a lighter pick up, but didn't want some plank that had no response.  The doc pulled out a rabbit out of his hat, the bat is 2lb 8.5 and the middle is so so very long. It is awesome and early knocking in has had to go outside, I hit the ceiling twice :)
Pick up is fantastic for such a full profile and hopefully I will do it justice, the markings prevent it from being a 3 stripe or Crown, but looks don't bother me as long s it goes.
Great grains in the driving area.

"The markings prevent it from being a 3 stripe or Crown". Yip I think thats called grading  ;)

Nice looking bat though mate and the shape is very nice for the weight. Good luck with the elbow, mine came right after time and rest.

Looks a bit like a Tandulkar profile with a low middle, looks thick in toe.
Hope goes well for you

Nothing wrong with a bat weighing 2lb 8.5ozs. There are plenty of bats of lighter bats that ping. Hope you score plenty of runs with it and the elbow gets better.

@LDifa - that's a really nice looking bat - well done.

If it was possible, could we see a proper side-on picture of the profile and know the handle number - that would be great.

Great stick, good work. The more B3s I see, the more I want one!

Looks a lovely bat that. A few lads at my club have these and swear by them.

I'm swaying between a B3 or an Aldred butterfly. decisions decisions!!

Nowt wrong with that weight! I've got a New Baqlance in the exact same weight as this and the middle is collossal. Hope it serves well, i've never used a B3 but they always look top notch.
