I finally have a Laver :D
« on: October 09, 2012, 06:35:07 PM »
Finally managed to get myself a Laver :D! After wanting one for a long time.
It arrived the other day and I've not stop picking it up, still astonished at how it can pick up so well with all the wood where it is.
Anyway the bat has 10 grains, not perfectly straight but still nice, responds well and I'm told it'll only get better with time so I'm very much looking forward to playing it in and using it in the nets!

Here's a few pictures, not the greatest as it's with my iPhone

I think you'll find that there are people on here who requested that I get the wallpaper involved in my pictures again as it's AWESOME! haha. But cheers the bats the focus of these pictures :)

I haven't used it yet mate, so I can't comment on it's performance. It responds well off the mallet and a relatively old match ball. The test will obviously be in the nets when I get a chance to go into them, and then play it in and see what it goes like!

Used the bat a couple of times now, and it feels really nice.
All be it on the bowling machine but hopefully the more I use it the quicker this baby's going to open up :D

All signs are good though. Got some funny looks in the nets using it lol.
