Picked up a Malik bubber sher! It's beautiful.
Anyone know about knocking in a Laminated bat? It's the thin performance laminate.
Also, they aren't stickers, but a painted on the bat.
Any ideas now to take the paint off?

Pics would help  8) Id say some elbow grease and sandpaper is the only way to get the paint off

It will have a wax coating I'm guessing scratch that off with a knife/blade then do same for paint.

Good luck!

Pictures :D

Will do pics tomorrow, On my way home now and it's too dark.
 A big bat for 2.10.
Asad is a true, true gent. The best range of cricket equipment and a very knowledgable man too.

Did you buy anything else??

No, was going to but ended up spending more on the bat than I had originally thought I would.
The Mamba range was excellent.
The bats in there were amazing. Grains, pick up, response.

Saw a bat that a fellow forumite has paid a deposit on.
An absolute corker.
