Post by: jd163 on February 01, 2017, 12:40:53 AM: Barely resisiting to buy another bat.. and this is not helping.. what a stunner!
Title: Re: Latest acquisition - Laver n Wood Signature.
Post by: Contrails on February 01, 2017, 02:45:35 AM: Cheers lads. I was in a Cricket shop looking at pads when a guy brought in his signature to get a new grip for it. He had it for 5 years! It was still gorgeous just to look at. Since then, I wanted one too.

The pick up is sublime, feels like a 2.07/2.08. It has lovely ping even though it hasn't been knocked in yet. These bats are so worth it.

Post by: KW9221 on February 01, 2017, 03:37:04 AM: Wow what a wonderful looking bat. I have been thinking about buying one but it is way out of my range. Perhaps next year.

I found they go well from the get go, so good luck and hopefully some runs. The last signature I bought in 2013/14 was no.94. So that's 130+ signatures in 3-4 years.

what is the profile you chose? also, is it a flat face?
Title: Re: Latest acquisition - Laver n Wood Signature.
Post by: Contrails on February 03, 2017, 08:04:54 PM: @brokenbat Yep it's a flat face. I saw a previous bat that James had made and asked to replicate it. Refer to the pic below.
