Just read this regarding CSO's new partnership with L&W. Did not expect this: http://cricketgearreviews.com/partnership-laver-wood-cricketstoreonline/

I think the first year batch of cricket bats of Hammer Cricket were Made in New Zealand by L&W.

[AverageCricketer]

I know they were made in NZ in the first year, but was it by L&W?

[alee]

yeah i am not sure. But some of his bats did resemble L&W shapes. Plus I don't know any other major brand in NZ besides L&W.

There is also mg2

Some of his original one were L&W so im not surprised. One of his shapes was made in NZ think it was called the Hel 156 and was a very "laver-esqe" shape
Good on him

The Vapen was the Ultra

Even MrCricket is also going to store laver and wood bats

[AverageCricketer]

Interesting. I thought L&W was a boutique brand only selling from their workshop.

If you have the capacity, why not broaden your channels? It didn't hurt salix.

Yeah.... Saw 1st year hammers..some of them are definitely Lavers. Lavers can be identified by his toe guards and rounded toe.I don't know how best this works as you get better deal if you contact Laver directly and deal becomes sweeter if you purchase more bats at once.

Well he has a proper shop now so his customers can actually pick it up and maybe even mallet test it before buying one. That's not something you can normally do with L&W bats.

[Shortpitch]

True that.but its small percentage that would be able to do that....as He is Miles away from east and west coast of USA. Still, Everything said, Its a personal preference who wants to get what kind of bat. like some of the Shelf bats are Amazing as well as most of the custom made bats in my experience. and main thing comes down to he customer service and the warranty you can provide.

One advantage of buying L&W from CSO is that the return shipping is way cheaper than sending it back to NZ. Would be interesting to see the pricing on CSO as I know people have been getting some good deals lately from L&W.
