Laver & Wood Reserve

Product Description

• Laver & Wood Reserve English Willow Cricket Bat has long-standing, traditional shape.
• This profile benefits from a long, high spine right up through to the handle which allows for a very large hitting zone.
• A shape that is ideal for the cricket purist and touch players who love to place the ball through the gaps in the field.

Willow Grading

• Reserve Willow is our Players Grade Willow which offers high performance and is very pleasing aesthetically.
• You can be assured that your Reserve bat will ping brilliantly and will look outstanding as every cleft has gone through a rigorous grading process.
• In both Signature and Reserve grade, you will also find some of our more low-density clefts.
• A Reserve will have at least have 7 grains to give you clean straight grain on the face of the bat.

PROFILES

Mega

• This profile is all about even weight distribution and a huge, powerful hitting zone.
• This much loved shape is ideal for aggressive players looking for as much wood as possible in their blade.
• The MEGA profile will forgive miss timed shots, turning one bounce fours into sixes, putting the ball over the top of the infield rather than getting caught short.

Ultra

• This physically imposing, modern profile is ideal for big hitters who want maximum wood in their hitting zone.
• The huge edges and flatter face are ideal for aggressive players looking to clear the boundary with ease.
• The ULTRA couples really well with our Carbo Cane handle and creates what is Laver & Wood’s most aggressive bat set up.

Special

• The most popular L&W shape.
• This profile is all about awesome weight distribution which allows for incredible bat-speed as well as a powerful hitting zone.
• This much loved shape is ideal for stroke players at the top of the order that need bat speed and balance to craft a long innings and put a high value on their wicket.
• The Willow that is sacrificed out of the shoulders provides an outstanding power to weight ratio.

Classic

• The long-standing, traditional shape.
• This profile benefits from a long, high spine right up through to the handle which allows for a very large hitting zone.
• A shape that is ideal for the cricket purist and touch players who love to place the ball through the gaps in the field.

Extended

• The Extended Profile is the ideal bat for the front foot dominant batsman who likes to get on the front foot early and dominate the bowler.
• It is a variation on the more traditional Classic profile with the spine sweeping into the toe, larger edges and a more compact but longer spine that allows for a wider sweet spot.
• This was the profile that lead to the modern shapes like MEGA and ULTRA, however it can be made at lighter weights and picks up better than those profiles.

Featherlite

• Laver & Wood have developed the Flat Face Special Profile and Indoor profile with a new pressing method to promote performance against the hard leather ball.
• The materials they use in fitting the handle mean that they can sacrifice unnecessary Willow from the shoulders of the bat without sacrificing the structural integrity of the splice.
• The profile picks up lighter than the actual weight of the bat so all in all, you are getting a bat that gives you an outstanding feel and massive power to weight ratio.
