Having used said V12 and picked up most of the bats seen on hawkeye's ebay.
It's quite simple he loves buying bats then hardly uses them.
I was the first person to use the V12- used it for a 10 min knock up in the net and safe to say it flys!
but the GM he uses as a match it goes even better.
And from memory all the restickered bats are correctly identified. (I did say if ebaying them he was better to leave stickers on or go blank :-P )
and his tape issue is so frustrating that V12 looked lovely he then took a roll of tape to it
