Title: Laver v SAF
Post by: Talisman on February 13, 2009, 11:36:00 PM

I have pitched the 2 most adventurous minds at opposite ends of the world to make me a new bat in a different shape. They have returned the bats and I'm very impressed with both before the hitting starts.

The Laver has laminated edges and the cut away shoulders.

The SAF has concaving in the shoulders and a very angled spine and toe.

Which is best, fight time...

I like the SAF especially the concaving done near the shoulders.

Mike, your sofa can be recommended for the Guinness Record as the most photographed sofa:)

That chair in which my (No Swearing Please) is lodged right now was a gift from my mum so that Bev could feed the baby in as it is narrow. I use it as she hogs the leather sofa.

The SAF stands out, does'nt it.

surely the Laver is illegal? nice idea though - I prefer the look of the SAF. What are the weights? Have you used either yet - are these likely to get sold on?

I used the Laver, it was an odd bat, played well to start but lost a lot of it's ping quickly, sold it on and then effect carried on with the new owner, maybe it dried quickly or the edges lowered the rebound.

Did not used the SAF as simply have way too many bats and did not like the feel of it for some reason, waiting on another from Norb as we speak.

First impressions are good  - got to love the scoops!!!!
