Apart from friendys. It is a bag with another lump of wood stuck on the back. That is a very loose explanation but someone else will be able to tell you the benefits.

a laminated bat is simply a bat made from 2 pieces of willow joined together with glue. The bats are supposed to be stiffer then a normal bat and hence generate more power and bigger shots.

Does anyone have any images of lamiated bats? I'd really like to try and make one but it's hard to work out what needs to be done as there's not much info on this bat type as it's illegal. But I'd love to make one for use in the nets and friendlies.

a laminated bat in one made of two or more pices of wood

in the past the laminations have been across the face of the bat; two harder pieces for the edges and a softer piece for the middle

more recently the lamination has been in layers, so that the face is one complete layer with others behind.

In the past lamination was legal, and manufacturers openly identified laminated bats.
