A few months ago I asked for members advice on where to get my Laver bat re-handled. Andy (from Laver) got involved in the thread and as I had been disappointed with the bats feel and performance (I thought that the handle might be contributing to this), he offered a complete replacement free of charge. Great costumer service and something I wasn't expecting.
Well here it is… and I think she's a thing of beauty
Spec
Laver & Wood Reserve / 2lb 9oz (arrived bang-on) / Standard Blade / Short Handle / Oval C-Ten – thinner than standard / Lamitoe
Pickup
Very good and well balanced. As you'd expect from an individually made bat, produced by a master craftsman.
Profile
I had to ask for something like Chad's Laver Hosk Scat profile. Also after the recent demise of my Scat Series 3 Professional, I was looking for something similar to replace it for this season.

9, distinct, straight ones throughout the whole bats length, with no blemishes.
Ping
I've had a 15mins thrown down session with it on Thursday and although I was a bit tentative, its response was very good. However, I felt that it needed more mallet time (about 4-6hours). So i know what I'll be doing today and Bank Holiday Monday.
Looking forward to giving it a proper go in the nets in the coming weeks. That's when I'll get a much better idea of the bats performance.
I hope that there's enough time to get her ready before the season starts
