My new 2.10 Special Reserve arrived today! Thought I would share some pictures.








Not the prettiest face I have seen, the ghosts seem excited though.

Looks quite pretty to me! Should go like a rocket.

Oh my!!

Nice profile mate, it looks a bit pale though?

Must be the strange camera angle - but that spine looks way off!

That's a nice bat

It's a bit of both, the left side is 3mm longer too the spine than the right. Another thing I have noticed is the right hand toe of the bat is also a lot higher than the left by about 4-5mm.  Visually displeasing but I hope it won't effect the performance.

2lb10 you say

It will probably be 3lb by the end of the season

You should call them about the toe..and also ask about the weight fluctuations. Best to be put at ease by the maker himself.

Will do, I actually live in New Zealand and I think the big weight gain generally occurs in the UK?

Apparently...though I think they'll say they've changed their process so now doesn't happen. I'd actually be more curious about their take on that toe! Have seen it a few times in handmade bats to be fair.

Now, it's just me, and I'm sure everyone else won't be bothered by it, but for what this bat probably cost, I would say the spine and the toe being so obviously out, is a bit poo.

This Laver was my replacement for this shocker bought online http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=37921.0. Maybe it's time for me to hand pick my bats.

@FattusCattus - Friend ordered the same bat for 425 USD incl shipping to USA.

Love the side profile looks an awesome shape. As for the spine and toe your not having much luck, but looks a lot better than the puma. As you are in NZ hopefully they can rectify this for you.
