I can't remember fully, but I'm sure someone suggested putting your bat in a warm place such as on your radiator to get any moisture out of your bat and dropping it's weight by a few ounces.

Not sure how good this would be for your bat if you took to much moisture out though.

This has been mentioned a few times - apparently Julian Millichamp has been known to do it - the downside is that it will reduce the life span of the bat.

Are you offering this service on a full time basis or is it a one off?

Solitaire sells stickers for 5 quid

Maybe it's the solitaire stickers that weigh so much?

Alrid,
That looks a really lovely bat.
Quite a lot of weight to take away, is it still in one piece?

Yes mate, she's getting on very well! Feels like an absolute wand and still performs brilliantly!
