It's not overly hard to remove with a heat gun and decent scraper.

Depends how long it has been on for and how many balls have been hit. Has a horrible tendency to shred which isn't fun to get off.

Have you tried a heat gun ( not a hairdryer) and scraper?

I prefer clear sheets in new bats and bats in a good condition.... but when bats are old and with several cracks i use fibre sheets gives better protection, but its a pain in the **ss to remove it if the bat needs any repair ...

Cheers...

This is like the Sausage sandwich game.

Fibre sheet, clear sheet, or no sheet at all.

I'm for 'no sheet at all'.

I reckon the pros use fibre sheets because it offers greater protection to the bat. There bats will have hardly any moisture in them so they can get massive amounts of wood for light weight. The extra protection will help the bat last that little longer on the international stage when the ball is hitting the bats at a great pace.
