Is it me or is that toe guard shoo goo, because the pattern is not all on the toe guard?

I sand my toe guards like that - just makes them look neater.

It's a pretty similar shape to some of the B&S bats from the previous 2 years. Lovely looking stick, seems like it will have a massive playing area, especially low down with that thick toe. :)

Toe guard sanded for neater finish

Yes, Black Widow is a South African company, David van der Walt is the head batmaker who was an apprentice at Hunts and one of the founders of D&P.
I love the stickers as well, they look menacing, looking forward to using it this weekend.

Had my first net session with it today, not a long session as my Kahuna Icon is my primary net bat (as soon as I can afford it, will be getting a black widow net bat based on the exact same specs of this one) and this will be my match bat only, well, this bat is a monster! It has an incredible ping to it and the ball rockets off the bat.

Can not wait to use it on the weekend. :D
