How Good is the B3 Cricket Signum Bat?

Here is my review of B3 Cricket Signum Bat. Yep, I liked it and I need you to watch it to the end to help me, and find out why. Also, please smash the like button and get this video to 100 likes!!
After I uploaded this I can see The colour tone is slightly warmer on KZbin than what it looked when I edited. I'll do some research and see if I can fix it on the maverick video I edit next week. Just run out of time.
Pricing comment from B3: "Pricing in UK £’s Less VAT
A key change is that we now only price in pounds and this means our overseas customers see the price in pounds less our VAT (value-added tax) which reduces the price by 20%.
The price then paid by the overseas customer then varies according to the exchange rate with their currency."
I note the Freight Cost is not VAT Exempt, but the bats arrived here within a week of posting.
No secret I have owned a few B3 Bats in the past. Here is my playlist

I do this as a hobby and do not make any money or get paid to create the videos. So owners of the bats cover the return freight costs of bats sent in and I do not always accept a bat for various reasons and do not run a bat-knocking service as the time it takes to create content is considerable.
All videos are owned by CricketBatInfo. All views are that of the owner and are based on a one-off experience from an individual bat, not a whole range or brand.

[@bimb5580]

[@CricketBatInfo]

It will be redrawn using the original comments when the channel reached 10000 likes if he doesn’t claim it. Unclaimed goods is 3 months, so he has time

[@eazye600]

Great video Marc, could actually be the best $600 a cricketer could spend if they want a decent stick, if that was a Kooka or GN add a few hundred at least to the price.

[@CricketBatInfo]

decently made bats and ever improving.

[@itscoolsam]

Nice 👌🏼

[@CricketBatInfo]

Yep

[@panaravishal7933]

Very good bat

[@CricketBatInfo]

definetely. check out the Maverick video!

[@alexrathers4592]

Lovely vid. Would the heartwood side need any extra knocking in compared to the white sap wood side? (On a ‘2 tone’ bat) Cheers.

[@justalitttleun]

The heartwood is denser/harder than whitewood so doesn't need knocking any More than whitewood.

[@CricketBatInfo]

Hi Alex, as I have covered in past videos and possibly the long bat preparation video, the Heartwood is both denser and as the sap has dried in that area, this created a darker appearance, like on the bark and makes it harder, but lacking in any elasticity, so more brittle. Generally, i am initially more cautious as it want to harden the top layer, not crack it. if properly looked after and any cracks glued it should last ages. it's just the local cricket hoons that play with a cracked bat for a few weeks and then complain it's broken. generally, I would pay less for a mostly heartwood (3/4+) with 14+ grains as it will sprint to it's end of life.

[@liamgriffiths3911]

Looks a belter right up my street

[@CricketBatInfo]

ok. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@priyankthakkar]

Hi, What is your suggestion of knocking a softpressed bat? How to identify the bat is soft pressed or hard pressed?

[@CricketBatInfo]

That’s easy, if you hit it moderately hard with a mallet and create a compression crack it’s likely a softer press. Especially if its a lower grade. Maybe its easier to tell a hard pressed bat. If you have a good relationship the seller they may help you find the goldilocks press😜

How to know whether is wood is genuine english willow or not

[@CricketBatInfo]

go to my playlist and look in the playlists. one on non english willow. difficult to the untrained eye. kasmie is two tone and serbian can redish. manfacturers can bleach the willow too

[@batsman38]

wow i have never won anything like this before, what did and how did i win it

I really rate the offset

[@CricketBatInfo]

Maverick, Pulse or Signum? I am guessing you prefer fully handmade based on past comments, but i may be off the mark. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@Jaymz001]

I like the offset edge of the Signum, and yeah, much prefer to support Aussie handmades.

[@CricketBatInfo]

Understand

[@Jaymz001]

But still drool over a nice bat regardless of who or what made it. 😂
