Just spent £440 on a Laver Signature. Why would I part with more than a weeks hard earned cash you might ask? Well I've sold about 3 bats to get the money and I've only ever used a Laver PB and it was/is amazing so I see this new bat as a long term investment. It will be my last bat purchase for a long time.
Used it yesterday in a net and it was absolutely beautiful. Pick up amazing and ping off the blade is just phenomenal.
until this purchase the most was my PB for $600 NZD.

You've raised an interesting question. I have a load of bats I like but i can only use one at once. Do i

a. Sell them all to replace with a really expensive match bat and a net bat that feels the same; or

b. Sell all but two (one net one match) and spend the money on nets and coaching to improve my batting...

How come it was £440? Was it that multi grain Pre made.

Make it sound like a loaf of bread...
It was a pre made. Not the 21 grain one but a 16 grain master piece. I will do a review in the next few days.
Could have been made for another person and the sale fell through, Im not too sure. I think It would have been added to the new pre-made specials that Laver has just put out.

Most I have ever spent is £200 and doubt I would spend that much again, around the £150 bracket is much more comfortable for me!

Not really. As mine cost £600, just interested to find out why the £160 difference. Look forward to the review tho.

I meant the "Multi grain" statement you made (Multi grain bread? No? ok) bad joke.
