Laver & Wood Prv Bin or Bradbury Sterling

huh!there was no blemish in it at all, i tested the performance about it but did not like it, just did not seem right for me, i have explained this before, anyway it was like a week ago you were talking to me about getting a laver as you did not think your fusion was that great after all!

atually adding to your comment,i said performance over number of grains, i would prefer performance, i am certainly not contridicting myself considering my fusion had 20 grains! get it right next time, and read posts carefully!

Hi Bill here,

               Fact,i ask for the bat that Henry had to be sent back,you said Henry, that it did not go very well,you also said that you had not used the bat?,you also said that the grains were not very even,but it had 20 odd grains?, i also said that you did not have to pay for some other goods that you had of us?

The bat that henry did not think that was not to his liking has gone to a first class county player and he is very pleased with the bat.

All these things are facts,i would like to ,if possible to put this item to bed,and get on with something more meaning full.

Thanking you Hentry and good luck in the coming season.

Bill

 Henry,please let that be the end.

Thank you,

Bill

Hi all

I'm 29 and have been lucky enough to have used only a few bats in my time most of them feeling 'right' and lasting well, my favourite was a trusty GN Dynadrive. My last bat was handmade to my exact spec by a local batmaker but only lasted a few years. So last week I went in search of a new stick.

I was aware of Bradbury bats but had never seen or held one in the flesh, and as I'm only a club player (of a resonable standard I might add!)  buying a brad never really crossed my mind. Went to my local cricket shop and handled everything they had to offer, GN, GM, Kooks, Countys, Slaz, woodworm -everything I was in the shop a good few hours. Then I happened upon a Brad Kudos. That was it. Sold.

In my 20 odd years of cricketing I have never picked up such an amazing bat. It's a 2.10, slightly heavier than I would like but the pickup is incredible it feels much much lighter, the balance is unbelievable. Without being too romantic about the whole thing it dosent feel like you're holding a bat- it is like an extension of your arms- perfect balance weight and shape,  it just feels right. So right I spent about £85 more on a bat than I was aiming to !

Obviously I'm still knocking it in and it will be a while before it sees any action so I guess that will be the real test. However the 'ping' from the middle even at an early stage is incredible. I have never used a L+W and to be fair have not yet used my Brad but even at this early stage I can say it is a truly exceptional bat.

grains aren't everything you can get bats that have really soft wood without 10+ grains and yes impala are really good bats and yes its true punter is now using impala not sure about clarkey but bradburies and impalas are very good, Julian millichamps new bats are good the Screaming cat althogh some of them have skinny edges but make up for it with the back but you can get that changed while ordering.

There the same shape as the puma tribute (millichamp originised this)

the only difference is the wood but all in all, all these bats are good and it doesnt necessarily need to be custom because these companies have great shapes so ask for your preffered bat weight and it will be good so i don't know why you want the shape customly made when the shapes are already perfect. Every bat will be made for you but in the companies shape and your weight and they are really good bats, choose any out of the laver&wood,impala,bradbury,fusion and screaming cat. (choose the one with the most wood for your preffered  bat weight)
