  The team at Laver and Wood are amazing. We put in an order with a very short timeframe on it and they delivered an outstanding cricket bat for games over labour weekend. Highly recommend them for their great comms, awesome customer experience and a World class product.

  I received the bat today and it is exactly how I wanted.  Their lowest Quality I felt is the best Quality. The quality and the bat is the best than you buy in shops.

  This review is a bit of a belated one so apologies, I attended your head quarters when it was based in Otane way back in 2000/ 2001 for a bat sizing and got a custom bat made. It wasnt long after that I relocated to NSW and used that bat for a season or two here in Aus. What I remember was the service was fantastic and that willow from the private bin range provided many great memories. Think I first saw you at a test match or a ODI between AUS and NZ at McLean park you had a tent setup showcasing bat making... good to see your still plying the craft, Thanks James

  James is great to deal with. Onto my second bat with Laver & Wood and both times the process has been smooth. There is a great deal of trust placed in the team to deliver bats that meet the standard agreed on, especially when you are an 'average joe' not a professional cricketer. To date I have not been disappointed and even when things do not go quite to plan the team goes above and beyond to rectify any issues without hassle.

  Super happy with how me and my brothers laver & wood cricket bats turned out. James is so amazing and knows so much and is super helpful. Would 100% recommend getting a custom bat made through these guys.
