The facing will add an ounce in weight to the bat.


It's actually very minimal, 16 grams to be precise or 0.56 oz! Although that was the weight with the 3M backing paper still attached to it!

( http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=13268.30 )

I always put anti-scuff sheets on all of my bats. If my bat costs £250 and a scuff sheet is a fiver at most I literally can't see the down side! For £5 I can protect my cherished blade!

(Plus I sell them so I have to advocate them ;) )

I'm just knocking in my new Slazenger V2 County and I'm going to use one of your sheets on that Tom, they look great!

I've given two coats of oil to the bat, I'm going to give it a good knocking-in and then apply the face. I've found that putting the face on first then knocking the edges in causes the scuff face to ripple and tear.

Also, to the people who have found that knocking in takes longer with the face already on (obviously this means the face is absorbing some of the impact) this surely means that scuff faces DO affect the performance of the bat.

Are there many benefits from knocking a bat in before applying a scuff sheet?

It's reccomended you knock it in before applying not 100% sure why but think it takes longer to knock in with a scuff on

The willow gets knocked in quicker and better before the sheet is applied!
Definitely apply the sheet after!  8)
