But Jon they tell you this
I can get a chalet pressed grade 1 for 150 so why did i go for a laver because i can and i think there better my opinion only i may add.
Why buy a Ferrari when you can buy a car that can go as fast for half the price....
Why do we all not flock to get the cheapest bats going
why do people knock Asian made bats and pay less for them
Why do some people pay over 300 notes for a 2nd hand bat then sell it at a major loss
Because people can bud i not turning anti you but sometime you answer your own questions.
Everything is horses for courses mate and subjective as the words written.
James Laver i would have thought is rated among the top 5 batmakers in the world for a good reason because he makes good bats.
I think they have made a few error with orders and will put them right.
This is why I don't have much time for you Dave, you deliberately misinterpret what I say, which wasn't even aimed at you, and somehow turn it into an attempt at a war of words; your thinly veiled digs are pointless and not necessary. Not one thing in your little rant has anything to do with the point I actually made which is if there is a £150 premium for looks, most of us would want a pretty special looking bat. Yes Laver make it clear, but it doesn't alter the fact that they have not provided exceptional looking bats in all cases. You've done well in that your Reserve is probably the best looking of the current batch and certainly is a nice one, but I'm not blown away by the rest, considering what they were sold as. Simple fact is there are only going to be a certain number of pretty ones in 1000 clefts and it is undeniable they have taken advantage of those who allowed Laver to choose the clefts for them. If you don't believe that, look at the evidence. Those of you on here who are notoriously picky about looks and will have spent time consulting and choosing for themselves have ended up with the better looking Reserves, those who didn't choose themselves have ended up with less good looking ones. Hell, one person didn't even get the one he had chosen and was not told about it until he took issue with them. That is far from impressive.
It is a shame that there seem to be a number of issues with this current batch and I sincerely hope it can be resolved to the liking of those who have shelled out. Laver has a very good reputation and that must have been built on something solid in the past but I have seen enough recently to be extremely reluctant to deal with them.
