Everyone varies from company to conpany,  3oz is a lot of weight to remove.  What's the current weight and why do you feel 3oz is enough?  Is it currently bottom heavy because pickup is more important than dead weight.

I paid £40 for a weight reduction and refurb from chase last season.

Andrew reduced a Menace Extreme (or what ever the really heavy model is called) from 3.4 down to 2.10
And its a lovely pick up. Cost was £40. Is it a big bat for the weight? If not the bat could end up becoming very concaved. The menace was ok due to the huge amount of wood on the bulge.

I had 2 oz off at B3 cost was 33 quid i think...

Also had work done by Dominic shillibeer who was 10 quid I think and did a great job and also Ryan Kelsall for around a similar figure and that was decent too.

Both the custom bat makers did very very good jobs of my 2 bats
