To be fair, I don't think it's unreasonable to question any brand, whether they're on the forum or not, when they appear to have contrasting statements on grading (which are now cleared up) and are claiming scuff sheets improving performance. This is stuff that should be understood if you're spending £500 a bat. Appreciate the posting style and 12 pages probably aren't the best way to get answers though.
I it is always appreciated when knowledgeable people (like Edward) from the brands pop on, these questions are how we learn things, perhaps there could be a better way for us to ask these questions in a less confrontational manner. A formal Q & A perhaps? Also looking forward to the pics and insights those from today have to share.
