3oz is a massive amount of weight to ask to have removed

That BAS is a stunner, but I agree with Buzz on this one!
As gorgeous as that bat looks, it is not a massive profile, and therefore 3oz of wood would leave it very skinny indeed!

Wouldn't want to ruin such a beautiful bat taking that amount of wood out :/

Id echo what other forumites have said, however, if you did want to go ahead, the easiest way would just to be concave the bat, because there looks to be little to none atm, you could probably take out 3 oz that way.

That's what was done to my Chase when I had a weight reduction, still goes just as well as it used to (if not better for me as I can pick it up now!)
If you're not bothered by having a concaved bat then it's definitely worth doing

I had my two Lavers done by Re Ink, would definitely recommend giving them a shout!
