Hi James

My girlfriend surprised me with a Laver and Wood bat for Christmas.  I can unreservedly say that it is the best bat I have ever used let alone owned!

The balance and pick up is surreal for a bat with such a massive profile.  It should be much heavier than what it is...!  I have now played two games with it since Xmas and have not been dismissed yet!  The highlight so far has been a massive six that I hit last weekend...it went way over the boundary and through a second storey window in a nearby university building!  Considering a bat usually gets better with play...I'm really looking forward to the coming months!

Thanks so much for all your help – My girlfriend said that you were a pleasure to deal with.  In fact my father who is an OSH inspector in Napier has been thoroughly impressed with your operation also - I think you have met him before.

I hope this email will make your feedback page.

Kind Regards

James:

I wanted to drop you guys a quick note now that I have gotten a couple of months of play on my bat. 

All I can say is spectacular!!!!  This bat is head and shoulders above any of the others I have played with.  I borrowed a GN yesterday at practice for a few balls and immediately put it back down.  It’s a fine bat to be sure, but it cannot be compared to the L&W.  I am moving up the order rapidly (in part because I am figuring out how to bat) and second as this bat just packs such a punch.  I think I mentioned previously that in my first proper game (remember I just started playing and though I had been practicing for a couple of months, I hadn’t yet made the side) I whacked by first ball for 4, just inches short of 6, much to the surprise of my teammates.  All of a sudden everyone wants to try my bat.  I am certain we’ll get you some orders in the next few months.

We are now getting ready for Super 25’s season.  After a brief layoff, I think I need to get back in the gym so that this wicketkeeping doesn’t kill me.  At least the innings are shorter!!!  Thank god we don’t play test cricket here…OMG!!!

In any case, I just wanted to send a follow on review and say thanks again.  I continue to be pleased and surprised with this bat.  I may have to order another lighter one before too long!!!

All the best…

Good Morning,

Thought you might like an update.

The bat arrived safe and sound on Saturday morning and went into action later that afternoon. My son maintains it felt as good as ever and was delighted with the appearance and performance.

To the spectators on the boundary, the huge six over the 65 metre midwicket boundary, together with the 10 boundaries, is probably as good a testament as you need.

Must be an omen as they were part of his first ever century in Poverty Bay cricket.

Thanks once again for your prompt and efficient service.

Regards.

G'day James, how's it all going over there?
Just a quick email to let you know how the bat that you made me last July is going.
It is bloody beautiful.  Every ball that comes out of the middle I don't even feel in the handle.  When the ball gets hit, it stays hit.  I am so happy with it.  That century is still waiting to be made though.  I've come close on three occasions so it's not far off.
I hope all is going well for you and the rest of the boys at the shop.
Take care and all the best.

Just received my bat, wow! it looks unbelievable and has an amazing pickup for a heavy bat, I can't wait to give it a try on Saturday.   Please send my thanks to the lads in the workshop they have done a brilliant job, I'll be recommending you to my team-mates and hopefully get you some more business. I'll let you know what happens on Saturday (knowing my luck I'll get a ripper of a delivery and be out first ball!!).
 
Thanks again
Kind Regards

P.S. Hopefully this will last a few years, but I'll definitely be getting my next bat from you.
