I remember it from last season,it's pretty big and the pictures don't really do it justice. Picks up well because the middle is higher than most of your other bats.

Does sanding affect the weight of the bat ? Seriously for the lower portion of the bat, i think you have sanded it a lot to get a even surface .  Did that affect the bat weight?

Sanding a bat obviously affects its weight, if you sand it enough, but the second part of your comment makes no sense, because the bat hardly needed sanding at all?

Going by the number of RK sticker sets you have acquired, Ryan must have gone bankrupt! ;)

Simmy, I too was quite surprised by the height and positioning of your middle - but the one on your bat is perfect!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

 Yes, but I just wanted to know that there were two scoops on the bat and to even out those you need to loose a lot of wood. I thought he  removed the scoops by sanding it :).

No scoops on this bat mate.
There were some on the BDM that simmy refurbed, perhaps you are getting your threads mixed up :)
