after some recent posts on the forum about Laver 7 Wood, and after reading a few very positive reviews i decided to send an enquiry to L&W as on their very good looking new website it says they spec you up a bat to your size etc free of charge.... so anyways i filled in the questionnaire as below and waited patiently
Age: 27|Height: 5.11 ft |Build: Solid
Batting Position: 3
Type of cricket played: Club
Weight of current bat: 2lbs9ozs
Size of current bat: SH Tim Keeley Custom Right or Left Handed: Right Handed
Type of Wicket: Grass wicket - slow and low Heard about Us: Information from
a club Referral Details:
Club Name: Horndon on the hill CC
Comments: like driving off the front foot, normally go for a low middled
bat, but love the pickup of a higher middled bat. Tend to play with a
straight bat rarely cut or pull anymore.....
i recieved a very prompt reply as below
Dear Mike,
Thank you for your request to be sized up for a Laver & Wood Bat.
We have worked out the sizes and spec best suited to your game from the
information supplied by you through the request form on the laverwood.com
website.
Blade Length for your height would be: Standard
Handle Length: Men's Standard Short Handle
Handle Type: We usually recommend Oval, this encourages straight play and
helps prevent breakage. We are able to make the handle round if you prefer.
Sweet Spot we would recommend for your game would be Normal/Middle to
Slightly Lower
Weight should be 2lbs 8ozs - 2lbs 9ozs
I think that in the special profile you would have a good sweet spot that
would generate nicely. You would also get the nice fast bat speed associated
with this profile and reasonable edges. The slightly lower sweet spot would
suit the pitches you play on but I would ensure that I kept plenty of wood
higher up so that the pick-up and balance of the bat feels great.
Please let me know if there is more you would like to know about our bats
and what we can do for you.after requesting pics this is what i recieved and am loving the look of the profile, nice thick edges big spine
can honestly say i'm tempted
