Before last season I was getting a bit toey, it had been a while since I purchased a new bat. I saw Laver & Wood
had a 15% discount on their replication service, so I decided that was enough reason to get my fix and would get a
replica made of my Screaming Cat Professional to add to my collection.
I sent an email and got a reply from Anthony, who was top bloke and easy to deal with. He said that they didn't
need the bat just some photos, measurements and my specs for a replica to be made (I had my doubts). I bit
the bullet and took quite a few photos and quite a few measurements and sent them to Anthony.
As usual I pick the best of times to order a new bat cause L&W were doing their big move to Napier. Although the
band saw made it, it was in several pieces and they had to get a new one shipped in. I finally received my bat and
it was dam close replica and the finish was superb. In the hand it felt great, the pick-up and the balance was light
for the weight, just as if Julian made it himself. To achieve what they did from the information I sent does the boys at L&W credit.
After a season of use it performed as well as I could have hoped, the middle was massive and forgiving and quite a few shots
sounded like I was cracking whip not a bat. I wont say it's better than the Cat but I wont say it's not either, lets just say I would
hate to live on the difference.
