I do this as a hobby and I do not make any money doing this or get paid to create the videos. So owners of the bats cover the return freight costs of bats sent in and I do not always accept a bat for a variety of reasons and do not run a bat knocking service as the time it takes to create content is considerable.
All videos are owned by CricketBatInfo. All views are that of the owner and are based on a one-off experience from an individual bat and not a whole range or brand.

Thanks for a job well done mate! Although it doesn't look like a big difference physically, the weight taken from the bottom of the bat has made pick up much smoother. Before, it really felt "end heavy," so picking the bat up to play aggressive shots felt very difficult. Now, however, the bat feels so much more balanced all around, and pick up for any shots is so much easier. It's made more of a difference than it might look!

[@CricketBatInfo]

Glad you think so. Cheers Carey

Great job getting the stickers back on. I'll never believe bat makers again when they say you can always take weight off but you can't put it on... Seriously though, it does show how much difference environmental conditions can make to weight. I reckon this will pick up better for the owner. I've heard many stories about people buying GN giants and wanting 4 Oz or more taken off.

Wood definitely expands and contracts with changes to atmospheric moisture. Ever wonder why doors jam at the change of season? I have a gate that shifts 3 + mm in summer. When you look are the pores under microscope they can look like a sponge. Aussie summers are hot and here in Adelaide is dry in summer. Absolutely see weight changes,

Thanks Richard

What's the first sandpaper you used And which grit sandpaper are required for complete process

[@vartakmv4336]

I reduce 38gm on my SG player edition.. 1)I cut my bottom 1cm from down, 2) removed stickers. 3) sand bat with electric sander with 80grid, than 120 grid and finish of with 180 grid for smooth finish. Trust me my bat feels so light and I have scored a lot of runs by that bat.

[@procricketbats]

what glue did you use to re apply the stickers?

[@CricketBatInfo]

Pva i think. A while ago

[@davidjohn510]

Sir tell me one thing If I use hairdryer to remove all the stickers from the will it also reduce weight of the heat from the hairdryer. I mean using hairdryer on the bat for Few minutes to remove glue! Will it reduces my bat weight by hairdryer????

[@CricketBatInfo]

probably, if you do it for days on end. not for a few seconds

[@davidjohn510]

@@CricketBatInfo Respected sir, could you tell me ways to make my BAT MORE HEAVY. how can i put more weight without extra grip and binding. does OIL works to make it 100gms heavy or water spray?

[@maranellodreamer]

Nice video ! the overall weight would've gone down for sure. The pre video did not have a grip while measuring the weight.

[@CricketBatInfo]

Pretty sure grip was on

[@davehull9142]

You will never reduce the weight of a bat by sanding it. You need to remove a lot of wood to make a very slight difference.

[@CricketBatInfo]

But you can rebalance the bat. Comment from owner pinned.

[@davehull9142]

@@CricketBatInfo No, you need to remove a lot of wood to make a difference to the balance.

[@ASH-ir8xe]

I always sand my new cricket bats and the weight actually reduces.(no hate to you )

[@user-wo2zf7oi4g]

Bro what is that red colour on bat please tell the name for my bat weight reducing who knows

[@mallaram6726]

sandpaper you ll get it from hardware shops

[@92sportspk96]

No bro my bat stickers is set on rough surface our bat stickers is not lay down

[@CricketBatInfo]

Not sure what you mean. You place the bat upright when applying new stickers?

[@stevecheshire5046]

Hi mate it's Chisel, you reviewed my bas players' bat many years ago. Can I bring a bat to you to drop some weight?

[@CricketBatInfo]
