I got a Laminate from Asad.
Absolute beast!
I actually sold it to a team mate who cant keep the smile off his face.
He hit twenty from the first four ball he faced on Saturday

Could somebody tell me the purpose of a laminated bat? Surely one piece of wood would be better than 2 glued together unless there was some sort of spring between the 2 pieces?
-
light willow on the back normal on the face?
lighter bat bigger bat! glue in the middle for bit of spring!
i wanna try one
-
And don't forget the magic ingrediant.....fairy dust!!
-
pete have u tested the ping on the laminated bat you have?
-
Well, not entirely true.
Originally, it was a trick Indian and Pakistani bat makers used to make the bat's look better. They would take a stunning 12 dead staright cleft, and make thin layers to apply ontop of ugly looking cleft. So, instead of selling one decent looking bat, they could sell 4 or 5 and get rid of the worst looking willow.
Laterally, lighter willow has been used rather than the lower grade willow as they realised it could create big shapes.
Done effectively the laminate bat can provide more power......however, there are many very average laminates out there that will not perform as well as a decent one piece bat.
......or so i have been told........
-
I would be inclined to disagree with the light willow side of things, yes volume helps but in this context it won't be as effective as selecting the right bit of willow for the front of the blade
-
I am knocking it in at the mo....that bat plus 2 others!
I'm banned from knocking in bats at home whilst anyone is in! :(
So I only get 30 mins a day whilst taking the dogs out over the fields!
It's likely to be winter nets by the time I unleash it! I do have a few question marks over whether it will perform any better than a normal bat though, as it's 3lb Lam with 40mm+ edges. But any 3lb bat with huge edges is likely to go like a train anyway. So may compare the Lam with the 3lb Matrrixx or the Blueroom Swell bats, and see if it performs any better?
-
Why is that out of interest?
I would have though that the back piece would be the most important part and that the front piece would be more of a cosmetic issue???

You've hit the nail on the head with regards to laminates, some are great don't get me wrong, but quite a few are just the Batter's perception

A long story will ensue which I don't want to goto on the forum as technically they not MCC... blah blah blah. I am however, as always for you Dom, happy to discuss out side of this forum :o [the shocked face is my new favourite thingy-ma-jig by the way]
Oh a quick caveat I assume Asads are hand picked, as always, and blinders

Looking at the join on the two CA bats the bat face piece is fairly thick in comparison to some other laminates that i have seen. The ones i have seen have a much thinner join on the front. im sure the SS turbo's had a thinner bat face piece too.

Sorry, i dont see the point in a 3lb laminate.

I was thinking that too, edge wise it's pretty much a 50:50 split, whereas others I've seen have been maybe 10%. I've only ever actually tried (which came via a SA first class player - no idea if he used them or just had one about0 and it went very well.

where did u get them. I want 1

Adam -Welcome to the forum, you are in the Uzi sports section of the forum, so I suspect speaking to Uzi sports will be a good place to start! Do remember, as you will see when you look around the forum some more, that these laminated bats are not legal for use in matches.

I have one going for a good price mate, have pm'd you!
