                         And
*What is your grip combo to weight so much???

Yeah, was originally plain but Mike put some Talisman stickers on it.

And my grip combo is; I have a lot of zinc oxide micropore tape wrapped around the handle with a slightly thicker bottom hand, I then have a Shock Absorba/Kookaburra Max/ something with a different texture bottom hand, and on top either a chevron or a GM Control grip. Oh and I have a small counterbalance on the top of the handle using small bits of old grips and zinc oxide tape.

Christ...... No wonder the extra weight!

That's good and surprising that they put their stickers on if it's not their bat......

They have done a good job but why the tape across the toe? they don't put it on their bats and that toe would be stronger than a real Kookaburra.

The toe is not huge and I just thought it might benefit with a little tape for extra protection, was my addition not Kookaburra's.

I think that cosmetically it is really ugly there, makes me think that the bat is broken.

Yeah I agree it does make it a little less attractive but I would rather be safe than sorry! I may well remove it though as I'm sure the toe will be fine.

i think a better way of doing this is what mike did on a bat i got off him, there is an extra layer off scuff right at the toe with the actual scuff sheet going over the top of this , looks really nice , and presumably does the same thing as extra tape

Added a couple of finishing touches to it with a grip that compliments the stickers perfectly and a nice Monster Energy sticker.
