Having never played with one I would be interested to hear a review. Perhaps you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover or even a bat by it's stickers but I wouldn't call them lookers. Is there a polythene cover still on them because there appears to be fraying or extra plastic sticking beyond the bat edge at the top of the bat. Almost looks like the stickers are too big. However, aesthetics don't score runs😃.

Where did you get those bats from? Typically all RNS bats have RNS engraved on the edges.The grains look very light to me or may be it's the pic.

Don't look too bad to be honest. Depends how much you paid for them. Spartan SS and to some extent even GN are overdoing with the stickers.
