I might add, the loveliest bat I have ever played/held/looked at.

I have climbed to the top of the bat mountain...unless there are new technological break throughs that further improve the responsiveness of modern bats, I don't know whether I will have better.

Certain companies are hostile to having their stickers on something that isn't theirs - even if this bat is better than anything they could make.

It is fair enough I guess because they have to protect their brand from Indian/Pakistani fakes.

This bat is an English made cracker.

At teh end of the day, I do not wish to upset anyone.

I'm guessing it's a Laminate given the front has around twice the number of grains as the back, presumably one with Newbery stickers?

Did you spot something in one of the pictures, or did you know already?

Spotted in the photos the positioning of the stickers would align with GM's, for example the first photo has been edited where the 'GM NOW' text usually displays.
