Title: Has anyone tried this
Post by: Karan62 on October 14, 2012, 08:51:08 AM

I was looking at my grade 4 kook yesterday and decided that I wouldn't be too worried if it died, so i took of the stickers and got my trusty file out and completely changed the profile making it a lot more comfortable to use for me. I was wondering if anyone tried getting a big 3lb low grade mass produced bat taking the stickers off and using their pod shaving skills on it ? tbf it looks more like a laverwood special reserve (in profile not in willow quality ;) )
Pics too follow
