Mongoose Cor3 ?!?

[Crescentarian]

So has anybody here ever used the Mongoose Cor3 bat? I am just wondering what you all think of it?
Hitting wise, does it provide any extra power / bat speed that MMi3 promises?
Any advantages over regular bats? (Its the same price range as Krakatoa or Thruxton Players!)
Are you able to play conventional shots just as well?

I have been looking into COR3 lately, and the more i see, the more i like! lol... but its hard to find any decent reviews online, since not many people have used it! All opinions are welcome!

02thoeva would be the best person to answer your question as he has owned one in past.

You do know it has inch blade and inch longer handle..

how much does it cost?

^^ The one that I am currently looking at, Cor3 Premium, is gonna be around 160 GBP.

Thanks for the link to the thread.. that helps!

Yeh i do realize that blade is slightly shorter and handle is longer... so i am guessing that results in higher bat speeds?

I am a bit apprehensive about MMi3, it just doesn't look right! On the other hand COR3 looks like best of both worlds... I love how thick the toe looks as well.

02thoeva's CoR3 isn't an off the shelf model though.

Looks like Dwayne Smith has been quite impressive with COR3

I spy a splice on that bat.

That bat of 02thoeva is regular size bat not CoR3.

It is regular size bat not CoR3.

Mongoose are not meant to have a traditional splice

A pro using a bat that isn't the one sold to the public? Mon dieu!

It is not necessary Rob Key uses Kookaburra which is sold to the public, Mon dieu.

Slightly quicker batspeed than a standard bat, as you have 1" shorter blade. Power and performance is very similar to a standard bat.

One day you will learn sarcasm, mon ami.
