i am getting some weight reduced from my new AS bat, hopefully 4oz off from 2.11 to 2.7

The bat is big with 44mm max edges and 35mm max toe. So I think there is some excess fat

I have approached Cooper Cricket and Brisbane Bat Refurbishment. Anyone here dealt with them
before.

Need some guidance from people who have experience of getting weight reduced. I
Its a beautiful bat and don’t want it to be ruined.

Hi Mate, i am actually brisbane bat refurbishment, I have had quite a few weight reduction requests in the last few days. 4oz is a lot of weight but something that could be achievable. Removing stickers and the edge size reduction could get us there but happy to have a look

1-2oz acheiveable by slimming it down a bit, but 4oz is going to drastically change the overall profile of the bat as it’s a serious amount of wood.

Any before and after images? Requests from a customer are one thing actually achieving it is another as the wood will have a certain density to it meaning it’s weight will be dictated by being a bat with certain size to it.

Bad idea, sell it and buy an actual 2.7

Showed the bat to Bris bat refurb today. Happy that he was very impressed with the bat, specially the size.

Jono showed me that a large part of this bat has edges bigger that the legal limit of 40mm. Spine is 70mm.

He advised against weight reduction mainly because it is a nice bat as it is. He suggested that I sell it.

I am not going to sell it, will keep it.

I use light bats but always wanted a heavy beast like XP80 or GN giant ( already have couple of xp70s in 2.7lb) just as a novelty. So this can be that large bat which I always wanted but know that i might will never use it

By the way, Jono (Brisbane Bat Refurbishment) is such a decent bloke. I thought he was very knowledgeable about bats. Also very generous with his time and sharing ideas.

But he is a bad salesman. He was more interested in doing the right thing and helping me rather than in selling his service.

Why not use it in nets?
