Luckily I managed to pick the best by being the first to go through their stock

Regards

Asad

We got our V6's a couple of weeks ago ;)

Yes, quite a lot!

Ahan.

So apparently they are also made in England if I'm not mistaken. If that's the case then I think its wholly absurd to buy V12 over V12 5 Star considering both are Grade 1 and made at same place? Both have laser engraving, exact same decals and what not!

Or its only regular V12 whose production is restrained to 200 bats?

I'm pretty sure the 5*s are limited to 200 and engraved too. I also don't see why you would buy a V12 with this option...the 5* seems like a really good deal

The 5 Stars are actually grade 2, Uzair, although quite a few of them - including the ones we picked - looked just as nice as the V12 LEs that we have currently, so I still (kind of) agree with you!

To be honest, by going with the ones you and Asad get they certainly don't look Grade2! In fact, better than actual V12 LE I have seen!

So saying ones you two get are Grade2 would be absurd :)

Full marks to Slazenger this year their stickers and bats look better than they have for many years in my opinion.

I had a guy comment on our YouTube channel yesterday that our new Slazenger bats don't have the same wraparound stickers that Jason's had at CSO.  Having checked the photos here, I can see that the same is true for Asad's selection.  Does anyone on here know what happened to these wraparound stickers? Were they just a limited run? Might have to approach Slazenger directly about this.  I'm not massively concerned, just surprised some have them and others don't.  Would be good if someone could shed any light on this! Cheers.
