Chaps, there has been so many positive reviews on Laver bats that I have been itching to get one.This season I have bought a BAS Bow and an AS V3 Custom and expected to use these as my match bats. However 2 weeks ago I spotted a Laver and Wood Carbo Heritage on Ebay, hardly used for less than a season and with very little interest.Anyway I nicked it for �62 which was very odd and was prepared for the worst!

WOULD BE GREAT IF SOMEONE COULD POST PICS UP FOR ME AND I WILL COMPLETE THE REVIEW.

I think you must have felt pretty smug when you opened the box up and out pops that beauty! It has a pretty high middle from the looks of it, can i ask the weight?

Looks pretty old, but decent none the less. any pics of the top of the handle and the toe?

you have the electricity board to thank for the good price. a powercut prevented me bidding!

Yes I was pretty chuffed when I got it as the seller couldnt send me more pics but I did confirm that it had a lamitoe insert and a carbon handle.Anyway it has hardly been used and I removed the scuff sheet and lightly sanded it and gave it a light coat.Changed the grip and it looks lovely.Weight is 210 and does pick up lighter.What really got me was the fact that it has the perfect oval handle.I have a BAS which is semi oval, a AS that is too thin and a Warsop that is almost too oval but damm it this feels perfect!

Absolutely beautifully balanced with a highish middle which suits me as we play on artificial wickets.I can understand why Laver owners bang on about how good these bats are. The profile alone is the PERFECT one for my style as an opener and just feels huge although the edges are only 30mm but the sweetspot is bigger than my Warsop Platinum.

You can definitely feel smug with that purchase - and you have done a really good job of taking the scuff sheet of cleaning it up.
It looks lovely

Thanks Buzz, actually I hardly did anything, it was in excellent condition and the grains have opened up nicely.I always prefer to buy a slightly used but fully knocked in bat as I cant be arsed to spend the time.
Performance review to follow in a bit....

haha im the same hate buying a brand new bat as can never fidn the time to knock it in properly!!! Hence why most of mine have come off you lucky lot on here along with one of our own brand bats

Been using the L&W churchill in nets for training on tuesdays and it goes like stink even for the cheapest in their range...such a shame it's a long blade version as it doesnt feel quite right being an inch longer that a normal bat in order for me to use it in a full game situation....may give it a trial next weds as got a T20 match!
