LV, LW, Oak and not sure what boning tool is made from 🤣

What's the Oak one like compared to the African Leadwood?

You won�t own enough cricket bats to make the investment, even if you are on this forum!

I think you underestimate the number of bats some of these fiends have/go through 😂

Personally found my LV to be a little overkill, but African Leadwood ones feel a little more wieldy. If you're knocking in maybe 6 bats a season, or offer a knocking service, then worth the investment IMO. Couldn't give you an exact figure on how much time it saves, but it's definitely more effective than using a regular hardwood mallet. If you're going to get a regular hardwood mallet, I've found the GN deluxe style to be better than the rest. Avoid the ones which double up as a grip cone - they are terrible.
