I have a new bat coming, and as it has become the done thing, decided to start a thread on it a day before it arrives. Never fear, whether there is interest or not, I won't give up bumping it daily until the it reaches it's 4th page.
It will be lightweight and traditionally profiled. I just can't get excited about big edges and concaving. I hadn't heard of the maker before but someone was kind enough to mention them to me. Actually, I can't even remember the blokes name. I'll add that later (ah good, my first senior moment at the age of 27). I think those that like pretty bats will like it, it's a nice looking piece of willow.
Anyway, pics to follow tomorrow.

i disagree, i think its the ugliest pice of willow i have laid my eyes on :)
your only 27..... im shocked ;)
-
Bet its a plank
-
Looking forward to seeing picts...

Did you decide to refuse the one he made for you?
-
To put it short yes. I don't think this topic is where it should be discussed though. Ask me anything via pm if you want.
-

You little tease!

Well all I'll say is it isn't one of these asian 'best bat in the world/(No Swearing Please) asian bat/best bat in the world/(No Swearing Please) asian bat/best bat in the world' bats that everyone raves about. Quite boring really :)
-

-

I don't like it. It's too brown.
-
Grains are a bit wonky but at least they are evenly spaced for you. Will u be using it or just stroking?
-
I think it looks stunning. Lavers may cost a bl**dy fortune but you certainly get a very nice bat. Never seen Laver produce an ugly looking bat, and that is no exception.
-
Is this not IanW's bat that was up for sale?
looks nice but id give it a good knocking in if your planning on using it as i think hes had it sat around for a while.
-
The perfect looking bat ever.
Will u be using it or not?
I never thought I'd live to see the day that Jono buys a Laver.
Welcome to the club.
-
If you intend to put that through the wood chipper i might actually cry.
-
Dave is gonna have a fit when he sees this.
I've seen better.
Please do what we discussed - would be hilarious ;)
-
Mwuhahahahaha. etc.
-
Brings a whole new meaning to the term "Video Nasty"..... ;)
-
Is this not IanW's bat that was up for sale?
No this is a definitely a different bat. This is a Laver, the other one was a Redback LE with Laver stickers ;)

Where the heck is Dave. . . ?
-
Oh, I wouldn't expect Dave to be interested in this. Made in the wrong continent you see...
