42mm edges and no concaving at 2lb9, hefty bit of wood for that weight!

@dcullen8 Yes James said it low density willow
-
That is absolutely stunning
I love lavers anyway, but would you look at that!
The grains look amazing, and the butterfly just adds character
Best of all, it's guaranteed to ping like a good un
And 2.9 with a lovely profile!
Don't sell that without letting me have first shout

@Northern monkey Sure mate you would be the first one to know when i am ready to sell it :)

Looks awesome mate...for the wood it packs at 2.9 and the straight grains.
How much you had to pay for it...I am after one.
What is the name of the profile.

@hkvuppala i am not sure what the profile name , i had let James decide to make one .all i told him is i need something mid sweet-spot and full profile bat .
-
That is an absolutely stunning stick, lovely grainage and that knot is a top bit of character. How much did it set you back if you don't mind me asking?
-
@ursmasti Do you mind sharing how much this set you back by please.
how do you compare the ping of laver butterfly with his special reserve or reserve bats.
I my self have a reserve and the ping in the middle is something else and I want to preserve it for game days.

@hkvuppala @Sivlar13 almost same price as Reserve may be slightly less .
@hkvuppala its definitely better than special reserve and compared with reserve i have some excellent reserves and some OK ...so i would say this is def up there with reserve or i can say much better than reserve.
-
Looks a beauty!! No stain in the playing area basically the same as a reserve
-
Looks an absolute stunner!!
-
When I enquired with Laver and Wood they mentioned these at the same price as Special Reserve.
How is the experience for others with the butterfly...if performance is the only criteria...is butterfly the way to go?
-
that looks huge for 2.9 looks amazing
-
@ursmasti - Time to line up all your L&W bats and get them into one single photo :D
-
Wow. Missing my B3 Butterfly already seeing that! Ping will be v.good. I'm keen to head over to Laver and look at the prices.
-
@hkvuppala after using a range of butterflies from different brands I tend to find that the stain was harder so the sound was a little different that's all, if anything the ball pings better off the stain with it being harder so they are a really good bat especially for the price and Paul aldred said he use to use them when he was a pro so if that's anything to go by the why not give it a try
-
That is a very nice looking butterfly mate!
