Title: Rehandling and Weight Reduction- Wheres best?
Post by: PM7 on December 28, 2011, 06:09:54 PM
Hola Chaps,
Ive will be in London in a fortnight and have 2 bats that need rehandling, one needs a weight reduction and the other some cracks in the toe sorting. Both need toe guards fitting as well. Where can I get the best price on the above? I know that Bat Repairs does the above at £35 per bat which is great but I just want to ask if anyone has any other ideas? Its important that  the weight reduction must be done by a batmaker to balance the bat correctly.
Cheers, Previn

What's the nearest batmaker to you currently Previn?!

Has to be said there is a complete lack of a north west batmaker - I bet they could make a killing - reckon Matt Barton should relocate - far too many batmakers in Kent already!

Closest to me would be a Morroccan cabinet maker so my options are limited.
Probably cheapest to do both bats with Dom for postage from London and £70

Didn't James from lekka claim that a moroccan cabinet maker was far more skilled than an experienced pod shaver - you might be on a winner there! ;P
