Title: Stickerless bat - can you tell what it is
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on July 30, 2014, 10:09:03 PM: Following on from my "village or not" thread, here is my own sticker less bat.
What does everyone think of it?
And can anyone guess what it is/was?

And the elastic band test, I'd guess this is 'minimal' concaving

It has a GM ripple grip on it to compensate! ;)

As it's now for all intensive purposes a brandless bat, it looks rather classy with my GM softs.

Another good thing about a stickerless bat is that I can sand the ball marks near the splice off instead of tatty looking stickers!
I'm still spending excessive amounts of time removing ball marks from the scuff sheet (also GM!)

Well it was marketed as a "performance grade" so you'd hardly expect a looker mate! :D

I quite like the shape of it but I can see why people might disagree.

One of my teammates piced it up and said "who would buy a bat with this f**king ridiculous profile!" so it divides opinions!
