Re-Handling Bat:
High quality handles are produced using Manau cane harvested from the jungles of Sumatra. And Malaysian Sarawak cane The 3 metre canes are initially boiled in oil and dried in the sun for several weeks before being graded according to size they are then cut to the right length, split and then the faces planed to ensure a good gluing surface. The planed pieces of cane are then glued together with three cork / rubber laminations for shock absorption.

At Laver & Wood we usually make our bats with an oval shape at the base of the handle. We use this shape as it provides more strength to the handle and helps to diffuse the shock waves created from the ball meeting the blade.
-
The oval shape in the lower handle also gives the bat a better directional feel. It is hard to grip the bat too hard with the bottom hand. One can only hold with thumb and forefinger, which encourages the top hand to control the shot.
-
The oval shape improves the pickup due to having a larger mass nearer to your body. Most batsmen that feel our oval handle will never revert back to a round one.
-
The round handle is best suited to those who like to use their bottom hand to hit the ball hard and lift it.
-
The size of a batsman’s hands can alter the specification of the handle. This is changed by either applying extra rubber grips or in the case of needing a thinner handle, specifying you have small hands when you place your order.
-
We can provide a standard round handle on request, but recommend the oval handle for anyone who wants to bat technically correctly.
This can be done if you send your bat back to us. Shipping is extra and can be quoted on request.
US$50 - A$70 - £30 - NZ$90
LAMITOE:
We at Laver & Wood have pioneered the LAMITOE, which is inserted into the toe of the bat. The LAMITOE prevents toe damage and strengthens the vulnerable toe area of your bat.
US$25 - A$35 - £20 - NZ$40
