Title: Ed Cowans bat
Post by: procricket on November 11, 2012, 11:53:59 PM: I think it is a laver

It certainly is not a e41 as it is stickers suggest

I've seen a couple up close and they are a much better shape then the off the shelf ones. So more than likely his own shape from Stuart Kranzbuhler, but you never know.

I don't think many, if any, bats are what the sticker suggests.

The ping on this bat was quite remarkable alongside his timing (of course)
