Title: Relatively inexpensive performance laminate?
Post by: Jacky on July 27, 2013, 10:18:00 AM

Hello,

I have been reading about the different types of laminates using the search function and to say I have become fascinated with them is an understatement.  I find it really intriguing that the performance aspect of of a cricket bat can be improved with a few procedures.

The reason that I am creating this topic is the hope that a bat maker can create a performance laminate for me with a tighter budget. I have been quoted around the 300 GDP mark and with the way the Australian dollar is performing against the British Pound sure you can understand not wanting to drop half a grand on a bat. So I would like to purchase a grade two laminate bat which I hope will be more affordable.  If anyone is able to provide this service then could they please get in contact.

Thanks for your time in reading,

Jacky

Why is a performance laminate bat going to make you score more runs than a normal bat??

These aren't the performance lams anyway though are they? Just Indian/Pakistani lams trying to make a huge bat.

Have a CA 9000 lam that is humongous and weighs only 2.9-2.10.

Sorry just to explain performance laminates are not laminates made for size, they are made with a small piece of wood onto the face of the bat.

I wonder how these performance laminates increase the number of runs you score.

I know Blank Bats a forum sponsor on here had/has them. Send them a PM and in sure they can sort you out

I doubt it will increase runs scored, I think that comes from training and practice.
