BAT 46 - Laver & Wood (Ayrtek Sticker)This is a Laver & Wood (actual model unknown/forgotten) with around 10 nice grains.
There is a lot to like about this bat although on initial check of dimentions, it looks pretty "average".
The shoulders are 20mm so kind of thick without being "beefy". The edges are a very normal 35/36mm so far rom outragious!
The toe is around 23mm at it's most narrow, so on the surface seems like a decent average bat.
But it's when some of the detail is taken into condsideration that it starts getting very interesting :-)
The spine intrudes on the toe, making it slightly thicker in the middle - where you'll also find a toe insert to enforce the toe.
At 2'9.5 it's a good weight but picks up very nicely indeed! The response (or pingability) is decent with a nice longish middle.
But the absolute best thing about this bat (for me at least) is the feel of it, mainly due to the handle. It is perfection.
If I could have this same handle on all bats, I absolutely would. The top hand is nicely round and neither too thick nor too thin!
But the bottom hand is semi-over-oval and feels stunning. It is perhaps the best handle I have ever felt on any bat.
If this bat were a woman, it would be Lily James....on first impression it seems like a very nice bat, but not overly curvy or stunning (compared to the best bats ever)
But the more you look at the details, you realise the better it looks and it's even more stunning than you initially realised!
