That might depend on how many are left lekka.
Remember kerry, theres only a very small number of these bats produced each season so if you really do want one........ or two, then i suggest you get a move on! |

As far as the stickers on these bats go, I think they look great. I don't understand why all the big manufacturers insist on plastering their bats with over-the-top, cheap-looking decals - their bats end up looking like kids' toys. The simple, 'less is more' approach you've taken with these stickers is perfect, as it makes a feature of the most impressive part of the bat: the timber itself.
As someone who would happily hand over a decent amount of coin for a bat, a **** set of stickers is enough to turn me right off. It's just sad how the big companies (Gray Nics, Kooka, Puma etc) dress up beautiful pieces of willow like cheap stock cars!!!
Well done mate. The big makers should take note! |

I agree , 450 pounds sterling + postage to the UK sounds a Bargain ! You can even request No Stickers so you do not look like a nob. |

I've seen these bats in the shops, and they're impressive. Much better quality willow and all-round finish that anything else on the racks. It's just a case of getting what you pay for I reckon, same as with anything. |

| Ashvir, you clearly overestimate the sanity of local cricket here in Australia. |

Absolutely stunning!
Stickers are great and achieve everything you were looking to achieve.
i guess we can't get anything like this in the UK. What do the guys that can shave at Edenbridge do these days, as i never here of anything special coming from there? Anyone know |

Ive now put on scuff sheet and applyed a urethane toe to the second bat. Putting on the GN extratec was easy enough and went on without a drama. The urethane on the other hand required 3 hours of careful manipulation before it eventually set and i could finally put the bat down. Constantly rotating and flipping the bat so that the urethane would set perfectly even over the toe was excruciating but well worth the effort.
48 hours for it to cure and then i can begin knocking it in!!

| You should start a professional bat re-conditioning service. I'd love to see what you could do with some of the other makers' wares! In my experience no manufacturer puts anywhere near this level of care into their bats. |
