Edges : 42mm
Toe - 31mm
Shoulder - 20mm
Grains - 18-19

OH MY WORD!
Absolutely stunning, what a beauty

That is special!

Bat porn :o

Sweet Jesus, been a while since we've seen something like this on here. Nice to hear you've been using it. I dread to think of the signatures that have been wasted sitting unused because people are so precious about them. Willow that good deserves to smack leather on a regular basis.

Massive for the weight!

That is an outstanding stick, it is absolutely massive for the weight. And that grainage is unreal! Are there benefits of a super short handle?

@Sivlar13 I don't know about others but for me i prefer super short handle since i tend to hit the top of the handle to my wrist and also i have noticed i get more power behind the shot using SSH. Over the years i have used it and works for me.

@Centurian Yup its massive bat for the weight , it was a surprise to me that this bat has 30+ mm toe and it still feels like 2.8 very well balanced.

That's a fair point mate, sounds like I may have to chop a bit of handle off an old bat to test it haha
-
What about all the willow underneath it.... Nice. 129 thank you
-
Wow. Time to sell a kidney for something so beautiful!

Now that's a proper bat.

and do they last through games / nets in the US?

Hope you don't mind me asking but why five?! Do they all get used/sold?

@ursmasti you must be one of James' favourite customer.
Amazing bat again from laver and wood. Looking forward to see the pic after the refurb. May be post one in its current condition.

Aye that's true enough. Damp would be a severe understatement regarding the weather we have had over the past couple of months!

Another stunning bat in your collection. You must be top of Lavers Christmas card list 😊
Do you have the collection insured as must be worth quite a lot.
-
@ursmasti , you play in the US, right? How have the Signatures held up vs the balls used here in the leagues / nets? Pretty durable?

@brokenbat - A friend of mine uses LW special reserve bat. He discussed with Anthony from LW team and he suggested a slightly harder pressed bat might work well when u r using a mix of cheap and good quality balls. He has been using it for almost two years now and it still going strong.
SoCal T20 leagues generally buys balls from Pakistan - AS & CA. These are generally a hit or miss in terms of quality. 40 over games they get the balls from Hammer cricket and they are very good. Irony is that Hammer balls are made in Pakistan by the same vendors ...

Good to know @ursmasti . One of the main concerns I have with so many grains, is that the bat can start delaminating very quickly. But it looks like these guys prepare their bats to prevent that from happening. Would hate to see a Signature only last a season!

Not really , havent seen a bat being broken that quicklyin last few years. Yes their bats take little while to play in before they reach to peak.

WOWOWOW!!! @Jenko i am mighty jealous
-
Absolute stunners. Make my Signature look like a G3! ;)
-
JENKO is that the old signature you sly fox great bats
-
I'm so tempted. Laver bats look great, but they are a rarity in my comp. Like the look of both bats.
-
Wow.. what a stunner.

Sure is Mate :) the 23rd ever made. Still untouched. Think they are making more and more these days.

Yup, I feel it's lost its exclusivity since your one was made, when they only had 2-3 clefts in at any given time that was a signature... Dunno if all the clefts in that first picture were destined to be Signatures, but I think they were. :-[
-
@Jenko => Your signature bat dwarfs pretty much any bat i have seen till now ! In the looks department this would stand at the top ....
-
Sorry/not sorry to resurrect this but is that bat seriously 2.9?
Might be time for another bat if i can get that weight in that size.
-
Awesome bat!! Hope you score tons of runs with it.
Cheers,
Pranav
