having seen these bats in the flesh i can safely say these bats are up there with any bat i've seen

The reason bat 2 picks up slightly heavier is purely because of the shorter blade/longer handle combination

Really glad your pleased with the bats

Thanks for the review
16 days transit time really annoyed me. Taimoor telephone calls really helped in keeping patience. Aside from delayed delivery, i am happy and love these bats. Little heavy pickup bat is for me, no worries, i am used to play with little heavy pickup bats. You are right, in flesh these are real beauties and ping is amazing.

Thanks mate. You are right about delays in production but how about transit time of 16 days.

Regarding oiling these LAMS, point to be noted, i am little worried now because oil already applied, don't know if it affects the bond between lamination. Would appreciate if any expert gives some tips.

Don't worry about the oil. The oil only affects the animal/ hide glue that was used in the splice. Most poeple use PVA glue these days which doesn't react with linceed oil.

They are lovely bats mate; I'm glad you got them at last.

Do let us know where this stand compared to your other like Laver Signature,  Screaming Cat and others.

Thank God you didn't ask about it's 'ping' from what I have heard AK-47 go extremely well right from start! :D

It's a proper gun. Has that metallic sound though.

Thanks Ryan, i was really worried after reading sillyshilly comment about the oil effect on LAMS, feeling relaxed now.

Could that've been the reason for the delay? Customs etc?

Thanks Uzair, Yeah after a long wait finally got them. I bought these LAMS only for the enhanced ping so checked straight away the ping and both bats pings superbly. Ping wise I would rate these bats far ahead from rest of my collection including Laver Signature, Scats etc etc.

The Customs go easy over here in UAE otherwise i would've paid a hefty amount for customs reason being BB guys mentioned the actual amount in Invoice but luckily i was not charged customs at all. I think reason for delay was parcelforce poor postal service, nothing else. Normally i am receiving my parcels from UK on 3rd day.

Are Laminated bats legal ?  I read that the cricket bat are supposed to be made of single piece of wood to be legal.
