The performance is very average compared to my other bat which is an absolute gun

Hope it serves you well and yes correctly knocked in it should play well over time more thought could have gone into the stickers though.

Although I haven't seen them in the flesh... Personally I'm very impressed with the design of the Redwood stickers. Especially the R on the back (near the toe). It's a really nice touch.

IMO sometimes subtly and simplicity is the way to go. But what would I know, I've only worked in the creative industry for the past 16 years :)

They have a nice matte finish and are fully embossed, I think the minimalist design is very effective

The quality of them looks poor though, you can see the splice through the white?

I am a fan of embossed labels though, one current addition to 2015 for myself!

Stickers aren't everything with a bat though

I'm a long time in the creative and branding industry too.

What does your experience tell you about the front sticker, which is the first thing that many naive consumers will see?

I would say that it looks like they've done a 'Vantage' and have a typo on the front sticker i.e. .co.uk or .com

Perhaps my misunderstanding john but do you mean the "co." should be ".co.uk"? I think the " co." is quite an intentional abbreviation for "company" as has been written for a long time before the interweb materialised from the ether. I think the hipsters are calling this "old skool"!

Thanks. I do get that :) FattusCattus was asking what a naive consumer might see.
