If you get any taken off, the toe could lose a little bit to help pickup.  Seems to have a fat toe!

Does anyone know (tried before?) how much weight I can get rid of by removing the anti scuff sheet and the Toeteck toe guard from this bat?

2oz just might do the trick TBH.

I think most scuff sheets are rated to add 1 oz

Scuff sheet = roughly 12-16g, which is half an ounce, plus the toe guard, which is, let's say for argument's sake, 10g. You'll be losing 1 oz at the very most I think. How many grips do you have on the bat?

Weight reduction is fine if it done right and weight evenly reduced

As others have I have used Dom who was brilliant and a brilliant finish and also Ryan before and b3 did my crown willow and do it well

If done correctly no noticeable performance loss is found but I would check with the person doing it as some bats don't afford 2oz coming off them mostly small edges and large concaved bats
