| I can appreciate that not everybody will love my choice of stickers and your right Tyke, the stickers on most mass marketed bats these days are definitely "cool" , cool is for kids though unfortunately. In person these bats are class, maybe not cool, but definitely not cheap or nasty. |

| We'll have to agree to disagree - I like classy stickers (Newbery etc), I just don't think that these are at all classy. They look like the ugly red bits cut out of a normal GN sticker - which is exactly what they are. |

Great bats mate!! Very good choice although the stickers looks a bit wired at the moment.
Do you mind telling us how thick are the edges of each bat(s)?
Cheers! |

The look of this bat (in this image) is certainly much better than the one you have made it now |

| Another question for you manno. How old is this bat? Whatever its age is did it start cracking since it has alot of grains. |

| How many sets of Fusion stickers did you use ? The Silver Legend stickers trimmed would have looked swell. |

Of course i dont mind CD, edges on both bats are 35mm.
The bats arent that old, ive only just started playing cricket. I filled in for the last couple of games last season and played each game this season. So just over half a dozen games. I use it in the nets atleast once a week and usually manage to sqeeze in a quick hit b4 the game most saturdays.
There are only 2 very small (2-3mm) surface cracks that run from left to right on the face. One of which was from a blow with the bat mallet where i struck the toe as hard as i could with the sharpest radius point on the mallet to see how deep i could dent the willow.......leason learnt!! And the other on the edge of a pinhead sized gap left where the grain in the willow lifted when it caught on the bat cover after id sanded it back to raw.........another lesson learnt. This is the very first bat ive prepared so i expect to get it right next time. I also expect the bat wont last very long due to the nature of the particular clefts used but im just going to enjoy it while i can, and probably cry myself to sleep when it dies!!
Welcome back lekka. I had contemplated using the stock stickers in a similar way but the Gray Nicolls text is printed in silver and i wanted white, also the spear on the back of the Legend had concaved sides which was also not what i wanted. Anyway, i can promise you all i am as happy as a pig in $#?+! |

| Sorry lekka i almost forgot. I was given two sets, but only containing the one at the top on the face and the spear on the back as that was all i wanted. I also told them to cut the checkered bands off the face stickers b4 they handed them over as further reassurance i had no intention of trying to produce a knock off that i could sell. |
