Hi guys, so I'm sorted nice and early this year with 2016 seasons willow
First up is my brand new B&S Elite Pro, this up is a unique profile as Garry had TK create this as a demo for next season, full spine all the way into the toe, thick edge at shoulder and toe. 2.10 and a stunner with clean straight grains taps up very well good pick up and matches the softs bundle so 2016 match kit sorted
Secondly is a M&H 09 or Amplus as well known, sourced via a local forum member having a little clear out, just a gun middle is so long and really flys, finishng on them is poor but performance is superb, pick up currently is average I would say. 2.9 but feels heavier so I reckon that was naked weight, a little refurb and this should reduce and oz or so in weight and a change in grip set up will be perfect
Finally is something I have always wanted, Laver & Wood Reserve, special profile with Carbo cane handle, this in the hands feels amazing, taps up an old and new ball with a lovely sound, 2.9 and again feels perfect with lovely tight even grains, so good I may have enquired about another one :D
A few pics

Explains who bought them off eBay! ☺️ All look great sticks and I'm sure will be difficult to select from! Be interested to see B&S's 2016 offerings
-
Got a better pic of the b and s profile?
-
I bet you'll have changed your mind by the start of next season.
-
Nice selection !! And a decent looking m&h not easy to find, they all go well though.

Nope I have these 3 as my match bat options and a GM aura 808 plus a kook verve 600 that I have kept from this year so that all I need and I'm sure I will only use 1 bat all next season, the remainder will get the odd net time
-
Very envious about that L&W.... Will have to make enquiries!
-
M&h bats are at least 2 ounces lighter than quoted as they weigh them without grips and stickers
-
Lovely looking bats mate. I bet you a pint you buy at least one more bat before a ball is bowled in the 2016 season though! :-)
-
Very good looking sticks pal.
-
I thought you were only having one bat? You'll have a dozen net bats before you know it! ;)

I have 1 more ordered which I'm waiting on but after that these will be my only bats with the GM aura and Kook verve as my T20 bat as the hunts T20 balls we use are quite hard and not great quality in my view
-
Lovely grains on the LW and B&S, so jealous :)

Not surprised with the other bat on order mate. What is it or are you waiting on a big reveal once it arrives?
-
That B&S looks a treat - I might have to get me one of those.

It's a custom Laver & Wood mate, always wanted one and after getting that reserve I convinced myself I should
-
God I want that laver
-
Agree about the B&S, looks a lovely clean face with no heartwood!
-
That B&S has a lovely profile. All 3 sticks are looking great.
-
I do like that B&S Chris. Very nice.
-
Glad people like the B&S, personally I love the profile, can't decide if I like the new stickers thought, seems a big change to what they had before and a very different design, I do like the back sticker that runs almost full length
-
Glad you like the M&H and Laver! Shocked you didn't show that B&S to me Chris :o
The M&H is a gun but has one of the worst pick ups ever. I'm still toying with letting those B3's go...
-
Those stickers aren't set in stone,

Didn't want you trying to talk me into parting with it mate, the M&H ain't that bad just needs needs some tinkering with grip set up
Those B3 bats were excellent mate, much better then what I have experienced and I'm sure would find a good home lol
-

Oh more choice of stickers? Would be interested to see the options buddy :D

Just a little update still got these 3 and had dispatch conformation of my other little winter treat to myself, also cleared out all of last seasons willow now including the net, T20 bats and ones in the loft, shed, mothers house etc and arranged one more additional custom order from one of our forum sponsors, look forward to showing that off when it's made and with me. Hope to be able to share some pics in the mean time of something iv waited a while for later this seem
