By the way CD--- the UPS guy just landed 

Will chat about that later on......

You might have answered this elsewhere mate, but being the (former) owner of a behemoth of a bat from Laver, did you notice the moisture reading of the willow? Do you think it was overdried?

There's a few tricks laver have done to get the bat so big but even so, I can't see how else it's that big without being dried.... I must add laver have stated these ultras aren't extra dried...

[kaustav]

Fair enough

Below what % is over dried?

Interesting question what moisture content  is standard for different batmakers

That is what I was alluding to... loads of over dried willow comments on this thread, so therefore the question.  They must know what % is over dried otherwise they surely wouldn't have commented ;-)

I think I read somewhere and I think it was from Norbs that low density clefts are usually around the 7-9 grains.

Just an off topic point here, I have a 20 year old GN Ultimate 1000 LE and this bat is/was the best bat I have ever owned... It has only about 6 grains and not overly straight at that... Don't know how GN graded bats back then but being a 1000 LE which was the top of the line back then so only could have been graded on performance.

So after that rambling I don't think grains or density really matter at all.... It all comes down to performance.

I might add that this bat has about 15mm edges and probably a spine height of 45-50mm maybe but rebounded like crazy... Guess you could say it was one of those "one of a kind" bats

May have been Millichamp... I tend to get the greats mixed up...lol

hahahaha, JM prefers that number of grains for a good performing bat not really anything to do with density

Mike Brimble said around 10% is good...

[Laver & Wood]

I have heard stories they are overdried mate, never rule out any thing

Please let me know where you heard these stories Uzair......  None of our bats are dried beyond our standard processes unless specifically asked for by our customers.

Most of our bats will sit in the 10% to 12% moisture content range....

I'm searching..I know I read it somewhere...lol
