Ok now for the key issue that is performance. The ball does crisply crack off the bat and the much overused word "ping" did light up my net session.Everyone goes on about ping on this forum but what actually is ping? A checked lofted drive went for six and i have never done that ever! This bat is pressed to perfection and is completely knocked in.My BAS and AS ping for sure but does it PING like this Laver? No they dont and im not sure if the carbon handle is the key. With minimal effort the ball flies off the face of this bat. The sound is different but the ball flies furthur, absolutely no doubt about this.

LAVER OWNERS: What makes these bats sound and play differently?
                    : Why are they so highly rated as nobody seems to have a dud Laver?
                    :  Is it the pressing or the willow that guarantees performance as mine has 7 grains, widely spaced and has                   opened up well after knocking in?

IS THIS BEST BAT I HAVE EVER USED?
SO FAR YES AND I AM BEGINNING TO BELIEVE THE HYPE...LOL

PM7, that has to be the best £62 spent on any bat on eBay? What a bat!

PM7 - I hear you with regards to the checked drive - my Laver has hit many shots that went a lot lot further than I was trying to hit it

The bat I have at the moment is such a nice bat, I had a Blade before which was ok. And my Champ Fighter is so much nicer, it has to be in the pressing. I had a roll on net session and hit a lofted one bounce 4 with a check drive which would never had happened with my Blade!

I really want a L&W but don't think I can afford the prices. I try to find bargains like this, but never have any luck!

Theres little or no vibration with the carbo handle but more of a clunk when you hit the ball rather than a crack.
Nevertheless the ball seems to travel faster off the bat face and most balls feel like they have found the middle.
Allround this is a great bat and I can see myself getting a new one next season.Im glad that I managed to try out a Laver for a good price but this has motivated me to get a new one as well.

Absolutely gutted to report that my first 2 innings  with the Laver were a duck and 1. >:(
I still feel that this is a cracking bat and I love the shape and pickup.

On another note could anyone tell me how to get some new stickers for the bat.Shall I send James pics of my bat and ask for some? Im not sure what they cost and I wont be sending my bat to NZ for a refurb obviously.Thanks chaps.

Just email James and he should sort you out.
If he wants pics of the bat, then he will ask for them.  :D
