Loving the look of these Retro stickers!
« on: October 26, 2014, 02:16:21 PM »
Hi

Another beautiful Laver to share with you all.

Hats off to Anthony and the rest of the Laver team for their exceptional customer service and craftsmanship.

This is my fourth Laver and like my first, I went for something a little different, a super short handle with a longer blade.

Personally, I'm loving the look of these Retro stickers and this bat is visually my favourite at the moment.

Willow Grade: Reserve
Handle length: Super short handle
Blade length: ½” Longer than standard blade
Weight: 2lbs 8ozs
Profile: “PRAVEEN SIG” / “CHAD”
Handle type: Oval Cane
Grip: 1 Maroon coil
Labels: RETRO
Facing: NO
Toe Guard: Yes

Turn around was about 3 weeks.

I'm looking forwarded to giving the bat a go in the winter nets. Fingers crossed she doesn't weight 3lbs by then :)

Ooh another gorgeous bat from Laver. Never heard of the Praveen shape before. The chad shape is so famous laver should advertise it lol.

What are the specs on this one as far as edge size and spine height? Where is the sweet spot on this one?

Up till now I hadn't measured them, but the edges are approximately 33mm and the spine is about 62mm. My main request was for little, or no concaving.

To be honest, I just told Anthony the type of shots I like playing, the league I'm in and my height. I then asked if this profiles would suit me http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=31838.0 as I thought that it looked pretty tasty :)

Those don't look like stickers, they look like individual cut vinyl letters.

I wonder what type he uses to stick to smooth willow (and how they will survive a ball impact)?

Also to add to my collection this is my recent Signature i received few days back and according to James this is the first of kind in terms of bat shape and profile ... enjoy the pictures





These are the exact words of James """" The boys think they have never seen a bat that big for the weight. It has a truly """""" Your latest Signature is one of the best we have seen and we are really stoked that this one went to such a good customer that values his bats.
