And there we have it. If you want a top performing bat why not save yourself some money and order a SAF or H4L? For £250 you would get something pretty from them too.

I realise the exchange rate is not their fault but it does seem that Laver play on their prices. Because they are that much more expensive they hope punters like us will assume they will be better too.

It isn't the ugliest bat I've seen, but you're paying about £100 for some nice stickers.

I don't think the stickers are that nice to be honest. Just been sent pictures of my new H4L Matt is completeing for me and looks much nicer than that. However, I'm not arsed about looks. Just making a point
