Plus you've got the new Supernova stickers, how are they in person and other forum folk seem to think they are much better in person?

I wasn't sure I liked the Supernova range in general when I first saw it, but the colours grew on me to the extent I wanted the stickers on my bat! And I will echo the comments that it does look better in person than in pictures.

The blue and black may not be to everyone's taste, but whats the pictures do not show is the attention to detail of these stickers. There is some lovely enbossing and texturing going on with all the stickers (not just the big fron and back one liked some brands do) and they add another dinension to the finishing of the bat.

Right then, another update on this!

Multi texture supernova grip removed and replaced with 1 and a hqlf chevrons.

Following my dissapointment about the edge stamps I got my biro out and re-marked them myself! I then covered them with a bit of helicopter scuff sheet to avoid any smudges.

I have also replaced the strips of tape with a bit of fibreglass scuff sheet, just to hide the repair.

All that remains now is for me to test the bat in the nets (which will be either tomorrow night or on Sunday).

Right so i got my bat back today.

It was in a state and not been looked after for a while. I knew it needed a new handle, I also asked for;
Scuff
Toe guard
fibre glass edge tape
Zone grip white and silver
Select stickers those similar to the ac630 ones

And edge stamps!

Before it went



When it came back



I got an email prior saying they could not restamp the edges due to the machine being already set up for the new stamp position, the edge not being perfectly square which can ruin the stamping process and various other reasons, which i was ok with!

They had replaced the handle and wrapped with spliced very sneakily under the stickers so you cant even notice it!

However put 5 star oblivion (SELECT edition) stickers on instead of the srickers i had asked for... Very minor detail but still... They also shaved 1.1oz off too!

You say they shaved 1.1 ounces of but it's possible that some of that would have come from the new handle as just like willow cane can vary in density quite a lot just like willow

Just realised I never put any pictures on here.
How I'm over the mourning stage and have some H4L goodness to replace this it isn't as painful, it's only the memories of the refurb I should've never paid for that haunt my credit card bill now  :(

The pictures I took when it happened





It was just the back sticker and the scuff sheet holding the broken section roughly in place. I removed the back sticker to inspect the extent of the damage...



I think it's safe to say this one is a gonner
