My mate ordered a Laver after seeing, feeling and using mine. It has just arrived and I'd like opinions whether you think this is has a low, mid or high middle?
These are the only pics I have at the moment but to me I think you can tell the middle position.

looks like mid to low middle.
-
Yeah mid to low. What was he wanting?
-
Just from looking at that mid to low.
-
How tall is your friend? Lot of tall batters are ok with low or mid-low sweet spots.
-
After giving all his details to Laver they recommended high middle and this is what he received. With no contact from the time he made payment
-
Looks Mid to me, I would''t say low at all.
-
I will say he has told me it's very bottom heavy
-
Get him to roll the grip down a bit to double check it is his. Should have his name written on it and weight.
-
Looks mid to low, but I'm surprised it picks up bottom heavy, as I've always found the pickup on there bats to be good

Has he played with the bat yet?
When he says "high", what does he mean ? 11 inches from the toe? 8 inches from the toe?
After all the bats I have bought, I have come to believe that only bat that satisfies my definition of a high middle is a Millichamp & Hall Amplus ( now " MH09" ). The bat pings everywhere though.
-
Seems like a long sweetspot, could be a case of offset edges.
-
From the 2nd pic it looks like the spine is about 1 cm up from those two brown blemishes. If this is the case then its mid, Its not a high mid. If he's not happy get in touch with them, they will fix the issue no problems at all.
Man that's a beautiful bat though.
-
What weight is it?
Looks like they've tried to pack plenty of meat in the hitting area.
It is quite a bottom heavy looking bat, but I'm sure it's a lovely bat
-
The edges are offset to the middle which may make it feel a little toe heavy.
-
Mid middle on the pictures described to me as stated off set edges moving bulk slightly lower
For me a high middle is anything above 7.5 inches main swell from toe up the bat
-
Mid middle slightly low but it could ping from under the sticker. With all that wood in the toe its going to feel toe heavy.
-
I'd call it a mid middle. Looks like the edges are offset slightly lower. Should be a belter of a bat though. I've got my hand up if he doesn;t want it. I also reckon put another grip on it and give it a go.

Mid low.
