Title: My Refurbed Woodworm/RK
Post by: Riddy on April 25, 2012, 09:46:00 PM: I wanted my 2.12 woodworm torch refurbed and have a weight reduction. After speaking to a couple of guys on here i decided i wanted Ryan (fletcheruk) to do the bat. Pics can be found in this topic, before and after shots.

i received my bat back on Monday. After i opening the package, i was flabbergasted. I very nearly sent ryan a message accusing me of send a completely different bat. opnly after i checked the writing on the handle did i know for sure it was the same old Woodworm. The bat looks amazing. The weight is just right, and somehow he has managed to keep the special Torch shape, whilst shaving off 4 oz's!!s the stickers look gorgeous on the bat as well. In all honesty, i still cant believe the job he has done, and to get it back to me 7 days after i originally sent it. I'll definitely be using ryan again in the future, and i thoroughly recommend anyone who is looking at having a weight reduction/refurb to consider him.

Nick, haven't received the willow yet. I'm hoping it will arrive tomorrow. If it does then I'll get them both round Saturday and we can made a start (if the games are called off) if not then sunday.

I'll let them know when it arrives :D

No time for knocking in I'm afraid, so that's down to them
