Lovely bat Jonty.

As a side note, a bespoke bat maker that does not deliver EXACTLY what you have requested, and paid for, annoys the daylights out of me. It's happened to me on numerous occasions from various companies.

I agree and stopped ordering custom bats. Buy the one which i can see, in flesh or pics.

lovely looking stick

I've just replaced my lavers green shield stickers with the retro ones - really suit a grainy blade.

Cracking looking profile - what handle did you pick?

I Picked the round handle...

and thanks for the correction of heart from hard

By handle I think he means the several special handles laver offers, not the shape of the handle.

Bat looks spot on to me.

Also what grade is it?
If you paid big money for a signature then be pissed,
but if people(I'm talking in general) are paying for g2/3 bats, I'm not sure it's the custom bat makers fault if it has blemishes. Don't be cheeky and expect a fully clean blemish free bat at a lower price point.

Shape, mid position, handle and weight should all be spot on though.


My pet hate is ordering a heavy bat from a custom bat maker, and them thinking, yes I can use that extremely dense cleft I have, so instead of getting a big chuck of wood, you get a thin highly concaved bat that just looks so small but still weighs 3lb plus.!
Stop discriminating against the heavy bat users! Make us big big bats.

@smilley792 Assuming it's Reserve grade as mentioned in the topic, that's NZD 750 (335+ GBP). For that price, surely you have the right to expect a blemish free face

I believe Laver does show you few clefts first and then you can choose. They did show me around the 6 signature clefts last year and I chose two out of those.

Awesome willow, all the best to score plenty of runs with it.

Lovely bit of wood. I'd be very happy with it.
