Anybody know what the average going rate for a 3oz weight reduction job might be?

Thanks

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.

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
