For me that stain  is visually disappointing  also the stained area could be harder but the bat should go well though.

The stain isn't in the middle of the hitting area though so even if it is harder it shouldn't affect performance. It's almost purely aesthetic in this case, don't you think?

Beautiful bat that, the butterfly gives it a little character! Wanted a L&W for ages, would have to find some blank gloves and pads to make sure I didn't brand clash haha

I see some 90+ meter sixes comes out of it

The  imperfection stain  in the willow won't affect performance also  it should  help make the blade stronger.

Looks beautiful. I wouldn't worry that much about the stain/blemish. Got a chance to use a grade 2 bat L&W last week. Performance is outstanding !

Something else that I noticed, the bat has a effortless swing to it and with the oval handle feels very nice.

Yup, sounds about right for a Laver. Great shape too!

"My legend is a trampoline" haha, nice. 

Ohh the bat came knocked in too! I am very stoked with this.  I tested the ping with a ball, yep I can see why bats like L&W are seen in high regard in the cricket world.  The SG is no slouch either but the SG has had a couple of net sessions.  I am guessing the Laver will improve a little after a couple of net sessions.

I won't doubt that for a second ... I tried both Legend and Special Reserve (i believe former is grade 2 and latter is grade 1) weighing at 2lb12oz. Friend mentioned that he asked Anthony for Brendon McCullum profile and they did it for him. Oval handle and distinct clunk sound on hitting the ball was quite new to me, but all in all it performed really well. I should think twice before buying a Kook Kahuna 900 grade 2 bat at 350 USD when i can get the Legend from Laver at 300 USD !

My Legend was made as a net bat in the same profile as the "Reserve" to prolong the latter. I took my Legend to a match for the heck of it. After two boundaries, I had to make sure that I wasn't swinging my Reserve. It became my match bat but I got paranoid about breaking such a nice bat. So I put it away and bought another bat. Reserve never saw any match action and his younger brother, Legend, is also enjoying a nice retirement. 😀

From recent review L&W opens up nicely after few net sessions, I am really thinking about getting one as well.

That thing looks perfect, RH inside edge heartwood and a cheeky little butterfly, as others have said I'd love that!

If iam not mistaken, private bin is at third place after signature and reserve

Private Bin with C10 handle.  I love the honeycomb centre.  Very intriguing.  Wish I could store some honey in there and have a little nip during matches. Probably attract a few bees too.

I have only used it twice and that too during net sessions.  Lovely bat, I don't want to take it to the games as I am not the sharing type.
