I saw the Imperium when I was in the showroom a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed by it. It is a remarkable amount of wood for the weight - thick edges at the middle, along with thick shoulders and toe. Picked up very nicely and the shoulder and toe size help in areas that all too often result in terminal damage.
I look forward to a few appearing on here, with reviews...

Shame to see prices rise, but the service and quality are exceptional.

How are they different to the models they've replaced (other than the branding)?

We were un-happy ourselves at having to increase our prices. For 6 years we have held our prices the same however during this time all costs have increased year on year and a big increase on willow for 2020 has forced our hand. I anticipate that many will follow soon!

In principal they are very similar however we have tweaked the toe and shoulders on all bats to give more durability. Been tricky to then not make the bats too heavy in dead weight or pickup but I'm very pleased with the changes.

Excellent to see a new range - agree on prices but suppose it was always coming and puts B3 nearer the prices of other manufacturers but of course their service and quality will remain at the same great levels giving them the edge for me.

@Butterfingerz Are there going to be some more sticker options? I'm sure I saw some teased on the social channels a few weeks back... Could we see them in full? Would love to see a set of clear/white stickers, or more colours making their way onto the white background if possible please  :D

All the best to the team at B3 for 2020.

We have recently made a new sticker for something which is coming up soon but not yet ready to be announced. At present we have a selection of 25+ different stickers which means we hold a lot of stock. I have a few prototypes combo's which may be included ready for the season but nothing confirmed yet.

We've just added a new Series Bat to the range....

Mid-low middle? Or am I just particularly shortsighted today?

Any new softs coming soon? You've had the same pads and gloves for some years now!

By that you mean white wristbands?

We did look at this however the samples we got were not of the spec and designs we had initially discussed so this was shelved for this year. We are already looking at new design and options for late 2020.
