From my point of view and judging the Lavers, my thoughts are as follows:
- The Reserve (red stickered as buyer didn't like the green stickers) is not really played in yet so is not at it's optimum yet. But it is a quality willow so will be excellent once played in!
- The Ultra although barely played in goes like a rocket already!
- The Heritage was a more traditional shape, and not really my usual choice of profile
The pickup (on the Heritage) was not brilliant for it's weight due to the lower middle, but it felt ok to me as it was a lighter bat than I'd normally use. I guess that helped with the bat speed to!
The Reserve was as you'd expect - quality bat and responds very well but nowhere near it's optimum yet.
The Heritage was a surprise (for me at least - although the Stig shook his head at it a little!) and I found it a superb bat for driving the ball! It went extremely well, but not as confident for other shots.
The pick for me was the Ultra which (like the Heritage) drove superbly well, but played every shot brilliantly!
Pull shots were dispatched with incredible power! A couple the Stig played hit the side net so hard, that I'm sure I heard the net scream!! And in fact, the next short ball, I could actually see the side netting shaking nervously in anticipation of another pull shot!
But although the Ultra had scary power, then fact that the Heritage could compete on the driving shots should be applauded!!
