It's hard to remove all the sticker glue from SS bat.

I did a rookie mistake three years ago, removed SS stickers from the bat perfectly using hair dryer and placed the bat in the bat cover without sanding the glue. Eventually Bat cover needed to be torn to remove the bat from it. :D

My feelings are that the chances of getting a poorly fitted handle are greater if you buy from Asia, whether that is down to lack of skill, pressure on making as many bats as possible and rushing the work or the quality of the tools used but who knows. Paul Aldred filmed taking the handle apart from an Asian bat and finding some horrible stuff. Now I'm not saying it will be the case with all bats and manufactures but it does appear that handles are one of the biggest problems along with over-drying.
